Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Decorative Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 3 drops food coloring (pink, blue, purple)
- 2 tbsp edible glitter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a smooth surface for your whimsical cookies.
- Sift together flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl, ensuring a lump-free dry mixture.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth and fluffy, creating a light base for the cookie dough.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter, whisking until the mixture becomes uniform and glossy.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
- Divide the dough into three equal portions and add different food coloring to each section, creating a vibrant pastel palette of pink, blue, and purple.
- Gently knead rainbow sprinkles and white chocolate chips into the colorful dough, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Roll small portions of each colored dough into playful, irregular shapes reminiscent of magical unicorn droppings.
- Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each unique creation.
- Sprinkle edible glitter over the cookies for an extra touch of mystical sparkle.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn slightly golden and the cookies appear set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Once completely cooled, arrange the unicorn poop cookies on a serving platter, ready to delight and surprise.
Notes
- Swap ingredients for dietary needs like using gluten-free flour blend or vegan butter alternatives to accommodate different nutritional requirements.
- Chill dough before shaping to prevent spreading and maintain vibrant color definition during baking, ensuring crisp magical edges.
- Control sprinkle and chocolate chip distribution by gently folding to prevent color bleeding and maintain distinct pastel swirls.
- Store cookies in airtight container with parchment between layers to preserve magical texture and prevent softening, keeping unicorn magic intact for several days.
