ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cotton candy, finely crushed
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup pop rocks (assorted flavors)
- Pink food coloring (optional)
steps
- 1.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- 3.
Add the crushed cotton candy to the bowl and mix until well combined.
- 4.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Add a few drops of pink food coloring for a pink cotton candy aesthetic if desired.
- 5.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- 6.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
- 7.
Gently fold in the pop rocks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- 8.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- 9.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The cookies may still appear slightly doughy in the center, but they will firm up as they cool.
- 10.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 11.
Enjoy the cotton candy cookies with their hidden surprise of crackling pop rocks!
