Frosted Cotton Candy Cookies

Walmart's Cotton Candy Frosted Sugar Cookies are a Hybrid Treat

Walmart's new Cotton Candy Frosted Sugar Cookies are like a kid's dream come true.

Cotton candy has been used to make everything from ice cream to cereal. Now consumers can enjoy the sweet carnival treat in the form of Walmart's new Cotton Candy Frosted Sugar Cookies. Just as the name suggests, the cookies start with pillowy sugar cookie dough topped with pink- and purple-swirled icing. The cookies are then finished with multicolored sprinkles in star, round, and classic shapes. The result is a sweet treat that's not only delicious, but also eye-catching.

The swirled sugar cookies can currently be found at Walmart for less than $3 – which is a deal just as sweet as the cookies themselves.
