Dough Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix
Add-ins
- 1 cup candy corn
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth base for your cookie dough.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture and continue mixing until fully combined and smooth.
- Mix in Kodiak Mix: Gradually add the Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes mix to the wet ingredients and stir until a consistent dough forms without overmixing.
- Fold in Candy Corn and White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the candy corn and white chocolate chips into the dough to evenly distribute the sweet mix-ins.
- Scoop Cookies on Baking Sheet: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring each cookie dough scoop fully covers any candy corn pieces touching the bottom to prevent melting during baking.
- Chill the Dough: Refrigerate the scooped cookies for at least 30 minutes or freeze for 10 minutes to help maintain shape during baking.
- Preheat Oven: Set the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to reach temperature while chilling the dough.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the chilled cookies for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden but the centers remain soft for chewy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your seasonal treat!
Notes
- Ensure candy corn pieces on the bottom of cookies are fully covered with dough to avoid melting and sticking to the baking sheet.
- Refrigerating or freezing the dough before baking helps the cookies maintain their shape and prevents spreading.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days for optimal freshness.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative and use dairy-free white chocolate chips.
- Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven’s characteristics and cookie size.
