Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until combined.

Gradually add flour, mixing until just combined. Fold in candy corn.

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing approximately 2 inches apart.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Let cool on wire racks before serving.
