Gradually add the dry ingredients to your wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Don’t overmix – you want tender cookies, not tough ones!

Cotton Candy Cookies
Gently fold in those cotton candy chips or sprinkles. This is where the magic happens – every bite will be a sweet surprise!
Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This helps them set up perfectly without breaking apart.
Tips
- These cookies taste just like childhood memories – sweet, fun, and absolutely irresistible! Perfect for parties, bake sales, or when you need a little whimsy in your day.
- If you want even more cotton candy flavor, you can add a few drops of cotton candy extract to the dough along with the vanilla.
- Feel free to add extra sprinkles on top before baking for an even more colorful and festive look!
