  • 1 cup of butter softened
  • 1 ½ cups of sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature

Add egg and vanilla to butter mixture and mix together. Slowly add in flour mixture, reserving 2 tablespoons of flour mixture. Do not over mix.
Toss candy corn and caramel chips with the 2 tablespoons of flour. Add caramel chips to cookie mixture.
To a well greased pan, add 2 tablespoons of cookie dough for jumbo cookies, or 1 ½ teaspoons for regular sized cookies. Top with candy corn.
