Serving Candy Corn Sugar Cookies For Halloween
One of my favorite ways to serve these candy corn sugar cookies is by arranging them in a serving plate or wide bowl filled with candy corns.
Of course, this is optional but it makes a really cute presentation. Plus everyone can eat the candy corns afterward as well.
If you plan on serving your cute Halloween cookies this way, just buy some extra candy corns.

Simple Candy Corn Sugar Cookie Recipe Variations
Premade Cookie Dough
While this sugar cookie recipe is super easy to make, if you just don’t have the time, you can use a premade sugar cookie dough.
In a pinch Pilsbury sugar cookies are pretty tasty!
Make your cookies using premade cookie dough and follow the cooking directions on the tube. Then, follow my steps listed in the recipe for adding the candy corns to the cookies.
Frosting
You may have noticed these sugar cookies aren’t frosted. The sugar cookie combined with the candy corn topping is very sweet on its own.
But, if you want an even more sugary treat, you could always add frosting and place candy corns on top.
They will be very sweet at this point and not for everyone but you may love them this way.
Just don’t say I didn’t warn you about how sweet they would be hehe.
For The Candy Corn Haters In Your Life LOL
So, I realize there are some candy corn haters out there. Candy corns definitely seem to be too sweet for some people.
People seem to either love or hate candy corns, there doesn’t seem to be a middle ground.
I’m assuming because you are checking out this recipe, you love candy corns (or are baking for someone who does).
What’s nice about this recipe though, verses the recipes with candy corns mixed into the batter, is that you can leave out the candy corns on a few of the cookies.
That way, your friends or family members who dislike candy corns can enjoy the plain sugar cookies and everyone else can gobble up the candy corn desserts!
