Ingredients
Scale
Donut Batter
- 2 cups Cotton Candy Sugar Cookie Mix (Betty Crocker)
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup Cotton Candy Greek Yogurt (Danimals)
Glaze
- 5 Tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Cotton Candy Flavor Mix (Duncan Hines)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a mini donut pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cotton candy sugar cookie mix, baking soda, and salt ensuring they are evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and cotton candy Greek yogurt to the dry mixture. Stir all ingredients together until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Pipe Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into a zip-top bag, snip off a corner to create a piping bag, then carefully pipe the batter into each donut mold, filling each about halfway.
- Bake the Donuts: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 7-8 minutes or until the donuts have turned golden brown.
- Cool Donuts: Let the donuts cool in the pan for 3 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the milk, vanilla, and cotton candy flavor mix until the mixture is warm but not boiling. Remove from heat.
- Mix Glaze: Sift the powdered sugar into the warm milk mixture and whisk vigorously until the glaze is smooth and lump-free.
- Glaze and Decorate Donuts: Dip each cooled donut into the glaze, then immediately top with sprinkles. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the glaze to set before serving.
Notes
- Ensure donuts cool completely before glazing to prevent melting the glaze.
- Using a piping bag helps to fill donut molds evenly for uniform donut shapes.
- Sprinkles add a festive touch but can be omitted or substituted with other toppings.
- Donuts are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
