COTTON CANDY COOKIES
This is an Adopted Recipe. As the reviews have stated, they really do not taste like cotton candy...more like an old fashion tea cookie. I don't really know why they are called cotton candy, but I can visualize these cooked in different colors of pastel and served on a platter, and they would indeed LOOK like cotton candy. These cookies are delicious!

COTTON CANDY COOKIES
These are my youngest son's very favorite! While fooling around in the kitchen one weekend, I came up with these cookies. Ben said they tasted just like cotton candy, so the name was born! You can easily vary these by changing the flavoring extract. I've included Ben's favorite, raspberry, but these are easily made with coconut extract & taste just like coconut macaroons!

Tips:
- Use high-quality cotton candy for the best flavor.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can cream the butter and sugar together by hand with a wooden spoon.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set, as overbaking will make them dry.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them.
