Unicorn Poop Cookies Recipe

How to make it

---

• Combine butter, shortening and cream cheese in a large bowl, beat together until smooth.
• Add sugar and salt.
• Beat until combined.
• Beat in egg and almond extract until combined and gradually add the flour beating until combined.
• Form dough into a ball with your hands and then into a log shape, divide the log shape into six portions (or how ever many colors you want).
• Place each portion of dough into individual bowls and tint the dough different colors.
• Chill tinted dough in the refrigerator 1 hour or freezer 15-20 minutes.
• Divide each tinted chilled dough ball into 8 equal pieces.
• Take one piece of each color dough ( leaving the rest in the fridge while you work) and roll out like a rope or snake on your counter-top.
• If you use a piece of waxed paper on the counter, you shouldn't have to add any flour.
• Roll the rope shape to about 6 inches long.
• Continue rolling all the colors and stacking them into a pile.
• Gently press the ropes together and roll the large multicolored "rope" on the counter to round and smooth it and if desired to lengthen it to 10 to 12".
• Cut the multicolored "rope" into two pieces, using both hands, roll with your palms in different directions on both end of the rope pieces to twist it gently.
• Coil the rope into a poop shape, using your imagination as to what you think unicorn poop should look like
• Press in some silver candy balls (dragee) into the dough pieces to decorate if desired.
• Place dough on greased cookie sheet (or one covered with parchment or silicone mat) and bake at 375F for 8-10 minutes until cookies are set and bottoms are light brown, they will not spread very much.
• Cool on wire rack.
• Coat with sparkle gel and/or disco dust to give them some sparkle and add some sprinkles to the still wet gel for more texture.
• Let cookies dry completely before stacking.
