Cotton Candy Cookies 🍬
Ingredients:
• 1 cup salted butter, room temperature
• 1 ⅓ cups white sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp cotton candy flavoring
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• 3 drops pink food coloring
• 3 drops blue food coloring
Instructions:
1 Prepare the Dough:�Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.�In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy.�Add the egg and cotton candy flavoring, beating until fully incorporated.
2 Mix the Dry Ingredients:�In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.�Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
3 Divide and Color the Dough:�Divide the dough into two equal portions.�Add pink food coloring to one portion and blue food coloring to the other, mixing each until the color is evenly distributed.
4 Create the Swirl Effect:�Take small pieces of pink and blue dough and gently roll them together to form a marbled ball. Be careful not to overmix, so the colors stay distinct.�Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each.
5 Bake the Cookies:�Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.�Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
