Candy Corn Cookies

These are super cute Halloween sugar cookies.  This recipe makes a ton and would be perfect for a fall festival, bake sale, or just Halloween fun!

Ingredients:
6 16ounce sugar cookie dough rolls
yellow & red food coloring

Directions:
Line a 9x13" dish with parchment paper.  Press 2 rolls of cookie dough into bottom for the white layer.  Use parchment paper and a round glass or small rolling pin to smooth out.  Next, in a stand mixer, combine 2 more rolls of cookie dough with yellow and red food coloring to make the orange layer.  Press the orange on top of the white and again use parchment paper and a round glass or small rolling pin to smooth out.  Then, in a stand mixer, combine the last 2 rolls of cookie dough with yellow food coloring to make the yellow layer.

Press the yellow on top of the orange and again use parchment paper and a round glass or small rolling pin to smooth out.  Let chill until firm and easy to cut.

Invert whole pan of cookie dough onto parchment paper. 


Cut a long strip width-wise.  Cut the strip into triangle shapes. 

Repeat & repeat & repeat!  You may need to chill the cookie dough again if it gets sticky and hard to cut.  Put the candy corn cookies onto an ungreased cookie sheet and cook according to package directions. 

Edges should be lightly browned.  Let cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes and remove to finish cooling completely.  Repeat & repeat & repeat!  Like I said this makes a ton - probably about 250 cookies!  (If I was to reduce the recipe, I would try 3 16ounce rolls of cookie dough in an 8x8" baking dish.)  (Also, these freeze well!)

Yummy!
