Ingredients :
For Cotton Candy Crumbl Cookies :
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs

How to Make Cotton Candy Crumbl Cookies :
Step 1
The first thing you’ll do preheating your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the cookies do not stick and set it aside.
Step 2
At this point in a large bowl add the softened butter granulated sugar and powdered sugar. Mix them together until the mixture looks light and fluffy. This step is important because it helps make the cookies soft.
Next add the eggs one at a time and mix well after each one. Pour in the vanilla extract and cotton candy flavoring and mix again until everything is smooth and creamy.
Step 3
While that happens in a separate bowl whisk together the flour baking powder baking soda and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix because that can make the cookies tough.
Divide the dough into two bowls. Add pink food coloring to one bowl and blue food coloring to the other. Mix gently until the colors are even. You can keep the colors light or make them brighter depending on what you like.
Step 4
While waiting scoop portions of pink and blue dough and gently press them together to form one cookie dough ball. Place each ball on the baking sheet leaving space between them.
Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should be set but the centers should still look soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then move them to a cooling rack.
Step 5
Next up while the cookies cool make the frosting. In a bowl mix the butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the cream and cotton candy flavoring and mix until fluffy. Divide the frosting into two bowls and color one pink and one blue.
Step 6
Once the cookies are completely cool frost them with pink and blue frosting. You can swirl the colors together for a fun look.
