Use a cookie scoop to form the dough into balls.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet and decorate with more candy corn on top by gently pressing it into the dough.
Make sure no candy corn is touching the baking sheet or it will melt into a puddle while it bakes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown but the center is still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
