Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In the bowl of a mixer, add sugar and butter and beat on medium-high speed for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat on medium-high until mixed in. Don't over-beat the dough.
Add flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt and mix until combined.
Divide the dough equally into four separate bowls. Add gel food coloring to each bowl to achieve four vibrant colors.
Drop balls of dough onto prepared baking sheet and use the bottom of a glass to press down gently and slightly flatten them. Bake 8-12 minutes or until edges set and center is fully cooked. Don't overbake.
Remove from oven and immediately press eyeball candies into the cookies in random patterns. Place on a cooling rack and allow to cool.
