Crunchy Cotton Candy Colorful Cookies
My friends couldn't stop reaching for more.
Ingredients π:
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
Β½ cup (115g) butter, softened
ΒΎ cup (150g) sugar
1 egg
1 tsp cotton candy flavoring
Pink and blue food coloring
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Cotton candy pieces for topping
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Beat softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy throughout.
Add egg and cotton candy flavoring and beat until completely smooth and combined.
Fold in flour, baking powder, and salt until a soft smooth dough forms.
π‘ Tip: Divide the dough into two portions and tint one pink and one blue before swirling together β marbling the two colors gives you those gorgeous vibrant carnival swirls in every single cookie without overworking the dough!
Divide dough in half tint one portion pink and one blue then gently swirl together for a marbled effect.
Scoop onto parchment-lined baking sheets spacing evenly apart.
Press small pieces of cotton candy into the top of each cookie just before baking.
Bake for 10β12 minutes until just set at the edges. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
