Ingredients

Before we get started, here’s what you’ll need to gather:

Ingredient	Quantity
Butter	1 cup (2 sticks), softened
Granulated sugar	1 cup
Vanilla extract	1 teaspoon
Flour	2 cups
Baking powder	1 teaspoon
Salt	1/4 teaspoon
Buttermilk	1/2 cup
Confectioners’ sugar	1 cup
Food coloring	Optional

Instructions

Now that you have all the ingredients ready, let’s move on to the fun part!

Preheat your oven to 350掳F (175掳C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Decorating the Funnel Cake Bites

Now that your cookies are cooled, it’s time to add the funnel cake twist!

In a small bowl, mix together the confectioners’ sugar and food coloring (if using) until well combined.
Using a toothpick or a small brush, dip the bottom of each cookie into the icing mixture, ensuring that the icing covers the entire bottom surface.
Place the cookies back on the wire rack to allow the icing to set.
While the icing is still wet, sprinkle the cookies with your favorite toppings, such as powdered sugar, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.
Let the cookies dry completely before serving.
