1 cup butter, softened to room temperature

1 cup granulated sugar
03 -
1 cup brown sugar, packed
04 -
2 large eggs
05 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Dry Mix
06 -
3 cups all-purpose flour
07 -
1 teaspoon baking soda
08 -
1 teaspoon salt

# Steps:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line your baking sheets with parchment paper. This keeps the cookies from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze!
02 -
In a large bowl, cream together that softened butter with both sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer and creates the perfect cookie texture.
03 -
Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each one is fully mixed in before adding the next. Then stir in the vanilla extract for that classic cookie flavor.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together your flour, baking soda, and salt. This ensures everything gets evenly distributed throughout your cookies.
05 -
Gradually add the dry ingredients to your wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Don't overmix - you want tender cookies, not tough ones!
06 -
Gently fold in those cotton candy chips or sprinkles. This is where the magic happens - every bite will be a sweet surprise!
07 -
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.
08 -
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:
01 -
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.
02 -
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.
03 -
Feel free to add extra sprinkles on top before baking for an even more colorful and festive look!
