Preheat oven to 350°F.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the butter and cream cheese until smooth.

Add the sugar and corn syrup and mix until light and fluffy.

Stir in the egg.

Add the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir until combined.

Coarsely chop 6 of the Pop Tarts; stir them into the batter.

Scoop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and use your palm to press them down to about ½ inch thickness.

Chop up the remaining Pop Tarts and press them into the tops of the cookies.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just barely golden brown around the edges. They will still be soft, but will firm up once they cool.

If you choose to add icing, stir together the powdered sugar and water, and add food coloring if desired.

Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookies and add sprinkles if desired.
