Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg, vanilla extract, almond extract, and cotton candy flavoring; blend until smooth.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Divide the dough into two portions. Add pink food coloring to one half and blue to the other, mixing well.
  7. Shape the cookie dough into balls using both colors, flattening each one slightly.
  8. Arrange cookies on the baking sheet, leaving space in between. Optionally, add colorful sprinkles on top.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
