CANDY CORN CAKE MIX COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mats and set aside
• Add cake mix, oil, and eggs to a large bowl. Mix well to combine. Stir in candy corn.
• Using a medium cookie scoop or a heaping Tablespoon, scoop cookie dough out onto the cookie sheet, placing them about 2 inches from one another. Check the bottom and sides of the dough ball to make sure that no candy corn are exposed. Cover any you see with a bit of dough. This will prevent the candy corn from coming into contact with the baking sheet and melting into a sticky mess.
• Bake for 9-11 minutes. When they just start to turn golden on the edges, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool right on the cookie sheet for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool fully.
