Reader Query: Candy Corn Cookies? III

My blog buddy Laurel wrote in to add an interesting twist on candy corn cookies:

Here's another thought Greg...I like to eat candy corn with peanuts. It is the perfect sweet and salty combination. Maybe you could add some candy corn to some almost cooked PB cookies. That way they keep their shape and don't melt or let them melt if the cookie consistency is good. Or stuff a PB cookie with candy corn and let them melt inside. Do you think this would work? If it doesn't have enough of the salt flavor, you could top them with some kosher salt like you do with the salted caramel cookies.

Thanks, Laurel! I'll have to try that combo. But you've sparked an idea for a non-candy corn cookie. I'm thinking of a salty/sweet honey-roasted peanut cookie. I know it's off topic, but you can never tell where the ideas will take you. :-)

Sounds good to me! I am about candy corned-out anyways. BAD CANDY CORN!!! It is just so yummy though.

I never like candy corn, but when I heard of this mix a couple of years back I couldn't stop eating it. It tastes exactly like a Payday candy bar.

i'm very pro-candy corn! i made a batch of chocolate chip cookies last night and right before i put them in the oven, i stuck a couple candy corns on top. they melted all over the place, so maybe putting them inside the cookie would either keep their shape, or melt to a gooey honey candy corn goodness?
