Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add one egg, cotton candy extract, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until just combined.
  4. Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix until a soft dough forms.

  7. Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes until the edges are golden but centers are still soft.
