Candy Corn Cookies in a Jar

Jen with 100 Directions is back again this month! This time she is sharing her candy corn cookies in a jar! This is great for Halloween, fall, or heck….anytime of the year! If you love candy corn, this one is for you!

Give me a bag of candy corn and I will be your BFF forever! (And so will my dentist!). Instead of just snacking on all the candy corn this year, I thought it would be fun to experiment and try my hand at a few recipes. I'm a big fan of cake mix cookies and I know Angie loves jar gifts, so I thought I'd combine the two and see what I could come up with. So, today I have candy corn cookies in a jar – YAY! (Plus a free printable of course).

Instructions

You can change up the ingredients however you like, you don't need to include all the candy items if you don't want. Because these cookies use a pre-made cake mix, they are really sweet. You can make the same cookie treat with a basic sugar cookie recipe, decreasing the sugar a bit.

To make the jar gift

Omit the web ingredients (egg, oil and water). and simply layer all of the dry ingredients into the jar. I layered in this order: chocolate chips, cake mix, orange sprinkles, cake mix, chocolate chips, cake mix, candy corn. 

To make the cookies

1. Pour all the dry ingredients into a bowl.
2. Mix in the wet ingredients and stir together.
3. Spoon the mixture onto a cookie sheet.
4. Bake for 8-12 minutes at 350 degrees.

Allow to cool before serving. Makes about 1 dozen.

You can decorate your cookie jar gift with a cute gift tag using my candy corn Halloween accents printable (it's free!).

I hope you love these cookies too. I say, any excuse to sneak in more candy corn, is a must!
