Ingredients

Cinnamon Sugar:

  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cookies:

  • 1 15.25 oz Yellow Cake Mix*
  • 2 eggs**
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil**
  • 1 cup candy corn do not add extra, too much candy corn will turn the cookie into a candy corn blob.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F and cover your cookie sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat, set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon and mix until combined, set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add yellow cake mix, eggs, oil, and mix until well combined.
  • Next add the candy corn and mix until just combined.
  • Shape dough into 1 inch balls, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture, and place on baking sheet with 2 inches of space between the unbaked cookies.
  • Flatten the cookies with your palm and make sure the candy corns are not too close to the edges (candy corns melt in high heat), then bake for 8-9 minutes.
  • Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes before transferring it to a cookie rack to cool completely.

Notes

*If you don't have premade yellow cake mix available, feel free to use my homemade cake mix.
**If you are using my homemade yellow cake mix, don't add the 2 eggs and the oil.  Follow the exact recipe of my homemade yellow cake mix.
