Here’s a Super Fun Idea for Fall Parties! I had this crazy idea to make Layered Candy Corn Cookies :) These are really simple I used the Basic Sugar Cookie Refrigerator Cookie Dough Recipe and then Pulled out 1/3rd of the dough when it was still white, Added Yellow Food Coloring to the remaining dough, Pulled out half of the Yellow Dough and added Orange Food Coloring to the last 1/3.
I took pictures of each step to help you figure out how to do this. Basically you start by layering the Dough into a block and chilling it for a few hours till it’s firm enough to work with. You cut these in squares then in half diagonally to make the triangle shape, I then used my hands to kinda adjust the triangles to make the corners rounded and make them look a little more like candy corn :)
Here’s the Recipe I used, I adapted this one from Cooks.com –
