Units
Scale
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups (285g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups (420g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 Frosted Strawberry Pop Tarts, chopped
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
- For the Glaze (Optional):
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 5–7 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- Sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Chop the Pop-Tarts into small pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until well creamed.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until the eggs are fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on medium-low speed until mostly combined.
- Add in the chopped Pop-Tarts and sprinkles, and mix until evenly distributed and the dough comes together.
- Use a large cookie scoop to portion the dough and place on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Optionally, press additional Pop-Tart pieces on top.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden on the edges. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Mix powdered sugar with heavy cream to make a glaze and drizzle over cooled cookies. Garnish with more sprinkles if desired.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened to cream properly with the sugar.
- You can customize the recipe with other Pop Tart flavors or different sprinkle varieties.
- Cookies stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
