Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. This part’s classic but important so your cookies bake even.
Cream together softened butter and sugar until the mix looks light and fluffy. You want that texture to build good base moisture.
Beat in the egg with vanilla extract. Mix it ‘til everything’s combined nicely with no lumps.
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly fold this dry stuff into your wet mix, careful not to overdo it so your cookies stay tender.
Gently fold in your finely chopped cotton candy. This part’s gonna add those fun pockets of sweetness.
Scoop out dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing each cookie about two inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges start to get that light golden color. Let ‘em cool a few minutes on the sheet then move to a wire rack. Once cool, frost each cookie with a thick layer of that cotton candy frosting.
Notes
Each cookie is a piece of a sweet dream with a cotton candy twist. Enjoy these fun and delightful cookies!
