An easy delicious tri-coloured sugar cookie dough that can be made ahead of time. Made with my favourite sugar cookie dough!
Jump to RecipeYou are either team candy corn or not. But don’t worry, this cookie satisfies both teams! Although it looks like candy corn, it is actually sugar cookies! These cookies have soft thick centres with crispy edges. They hold their shape and look so cute!
Tip One: Do not skip the chill time!
That is the key to helping sugar cookies keep their shape. Especially these ones as your will be rolling them into logs and shaping them to be cut.
Tip Two: When chilling wrap tightly in plastic wrap and re-shape them a bit before putting it in the fridge. This will help the dough from cracking and help the three layers combine.

Ingredients
3/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
Yellow and Orange food colouring
Directions
- Dough Prep
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla, mix until combined. Then add in salt, baking powder, and flour. Mix until combined.
- Divide the dough into half. Tint one half yellow.
- Divide the remaining dough into thirds. Set one third aside and leave plain. With the remaining two thirds, tint orange.
- Shape each of the three coloured dough into 8 inch logs.
- Place the yellow log on the bottom, then press the orange log on top of it. Press the sides in at an angle. Then place the plain log on the top. Press in the sides at an angle creating a triangle shape with the logs. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm (at least one hour to overnight).
- Cookie Prep (after dough has chilled)
- Preheat oven to 350F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unwrap the refrigerated dough and cut into 1/4 ” slices. Place the sliced dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake at 350F for 10-11 minutes until edges start to get brown. Cool for at least 10 minutes before enjoying! 🙂
