  • pink and purple Nerds (Strawberry and Grape flavor)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat over to 350℉. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.

Cotton Candy Frosting

  • Cream together butter, cream cheese, and cotton candy extract.
  • While the mixer is on low, slowly add the powdered sugar. Whip together until light and fluffy. If the frosting is still too thick add one tablespoon at a time of heavy cream until you get the desired consistency.
  • Separate the frosting into two different bowls. Using the blue and pink food coloring, make one bowl pink and the other blue.
  • Spread out one piece of cling wrap onto a hard surface. Pour the blue frosting into a straight line on the cling wrap. Fold the the cling wrap in half lengthwise and gently roll the frosting up. Twist the ends together and place them in the refrigerator. Do the same thing with the pink frosting. Let them cool for 5-7 mins.
  • Cut the twist off of one end of each of the rolls. Place them into the piping bag.
  • Carefully swirl the frosting around the outer edge of the cookies moving towards the center. Sprinkle Nerds over the top of each cookie.
  • Serve and ENJOY!!
