How will I know when they are done baking?

You will know when these are done baking when they start to golden on the bottom. 10-12 minutes should be plenty of time, leave them on the cookie sheet to finish baking for about 3-5 minutes after pulling them out of the oven as they’ll be very soft. If you try baking them past 12 minutes then the color of the cookies may start to become unsaturated, or less colorful.

What is the best way to store leftovers?

Store in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days.

What if I don’t have a cookie scoop?

If you don’t have a cookie scoop then simply use a tablespoon and roll together 1 tablespoon of each color dough into a ball to place on your cookie sheets.

Do I need to have cotton candy extract to make these cookies?

The cotton candy extract certainly makes these cookies taste more like cotton candy, but you can still make these cookies without it. They’ll still look like cotton candy cookies, they’ll just simply taste like vanilla cookies instead.

Can I make these cookies dairy free?

Yes, to make dairy free cotton candy cookies, simply use plant-based butter in place of the dairy butter to make these dairy free.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375℉ and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter and sugar until soft and fluffy, then stir in the egg and extracts.
Add all of the dry ingredients and stir until it forms a dough.
Divide the dough into 2 bowls and add a few drops of blue food coloring to one bowl of dough and a few drops of pink to the other and stir both doughs with their own spoons to make two different colored doughs.
Carefully fill half of your cookie scoop with one colored dough and fill the other half with the other color, and then place on your baking sheet 2-3 inches apart, there should not be more than 6 cookie dough balls on a tray as they do expand quite a bit. Continue making cookie dough balls like this until you run out of dough.
Bake for about 12 minutes and allow to cool slightly before enjoying.
