Magically Delicious! Unicorns may manage their elusiveness but they left behind some fanciful evidence of their existence and I was able to recreate their leavings.
This unicorn poop, in reality, has a funny story. I told my mom that I was making some "Unicorn Sneezes" and she said "when are you going to make your unicorn sh*t?" And then it hit me...Great idea, Mom! It will take a dirty spin and become unicorn poop, instead! She doesn't want the credit for encouraging me, but I still thank her. Haha. BTW: These things are sparkly to the max. Even more-so than ANY art project. I wish that the video would have captured the magic. *cry*
The real deal - it's made of sugar cookies, rainbow dragees, rainbow star sprinkles, white sparkle gel, and rainbow disco dust.
Enjoy! <3
**** Update 4/12/12 **** I'm very excited about all of the responses that I've been getting, and I am so excited to see what you guys have done with this idea. Thanks for adoring this cute recipe and sharing the magic with your families and friends. :) Once I get a moment, I will collect all the images on the net and make a "step" with the photos that I find! ALSO - I baked my unicorn poop cookies for a cake show in San Diego and I got second place, with a trophy and certificate. Pretty awesome!!

The amount of poops that you will get from this recipe depend on how big your unicorn is.

A bit worried about the sprinkles, though. Hooray for paranoia!
Not sure if was because of the flour or baking powder or both....help!
For those who were posting about cellulose, yes, vegetables have cellulose and it is a necessary fiber etc; but most added cellulose is actually wood pulp. A majority of processed food products use wood pulp because it is cheaper than actual food ingredients.
6 cups flour
3 tsp. baking powder
2 cups butter
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract or desired flavoring
1 tsp. salt
If you try it before me, let me know how well it held the shape of your poops :)
it also says to bake at 350° for 8-10 mins.
so everyone use this recipe (this is a half version of the one above. also doesnt need baking powder, baking powder makes it spread a little. we want no spreading)
3 cup flour
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 t vanilla
1/2 t salt
350 6-8 min
But if you want to play at the recipes, that's a place to start. Fill flour to about 250ml on a measuring cup, then weigh it. You can modify as you play with the recipe.
A tsp (teaspoon) is 5ml. A Tbls (tablespoon) is 15ml.
An American pint is 16 ounces (versus 20 in the UK).
Baking soda (if you come across it) is sodium bicarbonate.
What is wrong with you people that you would make this for yourselves let alone for your children.
Please buy natural food dyes and flavors - there are no natural foods that resemble "disco dust" so just skip that step or just sprinkle colored sugar.
People won't sell these products if we dont buy them. Wise Up !
Those cookies look cool as zhit though ! Very artistic but inedible for sure !
Gonna have to try these soon !
I used the lemon flavoring and it was deelish! The cookies themselves were so yummy and moist. I wasn't able to find the shiny ball thingies in rainbow colors so i just used sprinkles instead.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Wheat flour is not my usual go-to for baking, I'm always inviting exotic flies and moths into my home with sorghum, buckwheat, rice, tapioca flour. Not to mention how sticky my counters are with agave nectar and rice syrup.
But I can't imagine these cookies working without using the Old School, colon-clogging, diabetes-causing deliciousness of sugar and butter.
I'll need to make them smaller, too since little kids will be eating them.
And advice or direction you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
My boyfriend couldn't figure out what i was making, but when i was done, he was like, "What the -...!" Anyway it was fun and i have all the pictures on my blog, check it out: http://comigirl.com/magazine/tribbles/unicorn-poop/
They spread more than I wanted but overall a win!
