Candy Corn Cookies

Well Halloween is right around the corner so I've been seeing candy corn in, on and around everything lately.  So I threw some into a batch of cookies just for fun.  My daughter loves candy corn but I'm pretty sure all kids do.  She loved the idea of the candy corn in her cookie.  The candy corn kinda melts into the cookie and forms a crunchy sugary thing on the outer edges that was really tasty.
