Step-by-Step Instructions for Chewy Pop Tart Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer, combine softened butter and cream cheese and beat until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes).
  3. Gradually add the sugar and corn syrup, mixing until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  4. Beat in one large egg until fully combined (1-2 minutes).
  5. On low speed, add flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing just until combined (about 1 minute).
  6. Gently fold in the chopped Pop Tarts using a spatula.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, flattening each ball lightly.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden; centers may look soft.
  9. Whisk together powdered sugar and water for icing; you may add food coloring if desired.
  10. Once cookies are cooled, drizzle icing over the top and sprinkle with decorations.
