Equipment
- Baking Sheets
- Parchment Paper
- Roomy bowl
- Smaller bowl
- Whisk
- Tablespoon or small cookie scoop
- Wire Rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cotton candy flavoring
- Food coloring (optional, for vibrant hues)
Instructions
- First things first, preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper – this trick makes cleanup a breeze and stops anything from sticking.
- In a roomy bowl, blend together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat them until the mixture becomes wonderfully light and fluffy, which usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Next, beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully mixed in before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract and that special cotton candy flavoring. If you're adding food coloring for a lovely Valentine's pop, now’s the perfect moment!
- In a separate, smaller bowl, quickly whisk together your flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture into your wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is combined. Remember, don’t overmix if you want soft, tender cookies!
- Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheets. Give them a little space, about two inches apart. Bake them in your preheated oven for around 10 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden color and the centers still look soft.
- Let your gorgeous cookies rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. This helps them firm up perfectly before you carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool down completely. Time to share these delightful, easy-to-make treats with your sweethearts!
