Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a stand mixer, combine softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add in the large egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully integrated.
  2. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt to the butter mixture on low speed. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Fold in the candy corn and white chocolate chips gently with a spatula, ensuring even distribution without breaking the candy pieces.
  4. Form the dough into mounds, flatten slightly, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Arrange the chilled mounds on the baking sheet and bake for approximately 9 minutes, or until edges are set and centers look glossy.
  7. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use cold butter for a better texture. Chilling dough is crucial for maintaining shape; avoid warm dough to prevent thin cookies. Remove cookies just as the edges are set for maximum chewiness.
