The cookie formerly known as Unicorn Poop:
If there is anything I want you to know about me, it is my love of unicorns and rainbows and sunshine! Luckily my sweet JJ figured that out a long time ago and sent me a recipe for Unicorn Poop cookies. Insert my girl Simi and they have a new name! Roy G Bites are magically delicious and when you put on your goggles Rainbow Riders, you will help transform the mood of anyone you share them with.
We all know Unicorns have magic powers. Something special happens when you make these cookies...eating a rainbow covered in disco dust, glitter gel, hearts, butterflies, and flowers will give you super powers. Be warned, you don't want to share them with anyone you don't want smiling at you!
Roy G Bites:
1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temp)
1/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups AP flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp good salt
Special tools:
Parchment paper
ROYGBP gel colors
Disco Dust
Glitter Gel
Sugar hearts, butterflies etc.
Sugar pearls
Paintbrush
Magical hands and a loving heart
Cream the butter, shortening, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs, one at a time until light and fluffy. Mix in the flour, salt and baking powder until just combined.
Portion the dough into six equal parts. Color each using the ROYGBP gels. I used a portion scoop to make sure I had even amounts of each color. You can weigh it or form a log and cut 6 portions as well. Wrap each of the colored doughs in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
Next, roll each of the doughs on a floured board to form six even logs. Cut each log in four pieces. Roll the individual colors out to the length of the original log (mine were about 15 inches). Place the colors on top of each other and cut into four more pieces. This will give you 16 perfectly magical cookies.
Continue rolling the dough (in the same direction) into a long rope about 1 cm thick and then holding one end, roll in one direction making a rainbow stripe. Use additional flour at any point...this is a moist dough from the eggs and will absorb the excess flour or you can brush it off with a dry paint brush.
Form the rope into a spiral and on the last ring, allow it to wrap towards the center, creating the mystical shape.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes.
Immediately top with sugar pearls, pushing them into the cookies so they don't roll out.
When the cookies have cooled, cover them with a layer of glitter gel, I had pink but white will work also. Use a small paintbrush to coat the cookies. Top with sugar decor and sprinkle with disco dust or other edible sugar sparkles.
Shiny, magical, delicious!
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
