Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix Dry Ingredients<\/strong>: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream Butter and Sugar<\/strong>: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Egg and Extracts<\/strong>: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) until well combined.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients<\/strong>: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shape the Cookies<\/strong>: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake the Cookies<\/strong>: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly undercooked, but they will set as they cool.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cool the Cookies<\/strong>: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the Pop Rocks<\/strong>: Once the cookies are completely cool, it's time to add the Pop Rocks. Gently press a small amount of Pop Rocks onto the top of each cookie. You can use a variety of flavors to add a colorful and fun touch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-542\" src=\"https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Summer camper with a braid pouring red Pop Rocks onto a frosted sugar cookie\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:768px;height:auto;display:block;margin:0 auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-1-830x1107.jpg 830w, https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-1-230x307.jpg 230w, https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-1-350x467.jpg 350w, https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-1-480x640.jpg 480w, https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-543\" src=\"https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Summer camper in a white lab coat and pink bow pouring red Pop Rocks next to a frosted sugar cookie\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:768px;height:auto;display:block;margin:0 auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-2-830x1107.jpg 830w, https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-2-230x307.jpg 230w, https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-2-350x467.jpg 350w, https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-2-480x640.jpg 480w, https:\/\/eeekscience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/eeek-camp-pop-rock-cookie-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Quick and Easy Alternative:<\/h3>\n<p>If you're short on time, you can also grab regular sugar cookies from the grocery store bakery.
