cotton candy spritz cookies #BeAGoodCookie

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and I am thrilled to have partnered with OXO to support Cookies for Kids’ Cancer by baking up these adorable Cotton Candy Spritz Cookies.

When dreaming up the perfect cookie to join OXO in raising awareness and donations for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, my beloved OXO Good Grips Cookie Press was the obvious tool of choice. And because I could not think of a more iconic childhood sweet than cotton candy, these adorable Cotton Candy Spritz Teddy Bears were born. I can also assure you that they are as fun to eat as they are to look at, making them one of my favorite flavored spritz cookies to date.

Cotton Candy flavoring can be purchased from LorAnn Oils and really gives these sugar cookies that pop of something special. As an added bonus, brightly colored heart quins give these sweet bears a Care Bear like persona, making them a delightful treat for a little girl’s birthday party. Be a good cookie and pick up an OXO Cookie Press to make these adorable Cotton Candy Spritz Cookies and know that your purchase is helping to support Cookies for Kids’ Cancer!
