Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of fine sea salt.

In a large bowl, beat ½ cup of softened unsalted butter, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Mix in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of cotton candy flavoring. Add food coloring if desired.

Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

Fold in ¼ cup of colorful sprinkles gently into the dough.

Scoop dollops of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and centers are soft.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
