Unicorn Poop Cookies - with yoyomax12

Here is where I found the idea:

Here is the sugar cookie dough recipe I used:

The dough is very sticky and need to be VERY well chilled to work with properly

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3 oz cream cheese softened
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 tsp almond extract (or vanilla extract or any other extract you want to try)
2 cups all purpose flour

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 colours you want).
Place each portion of dough into individual bowls and tint the dough different colours.
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 colour dough ( LEAVE THE REST IN THE FRIDGE OR FREEZER 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 colours and stacking them into a pile. Gently press the ropes together and roll the large multicoloured "rope" on the counter to round and smooth it and if desired to lengthen it to 10 to 12".
Cut the multicoloured "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.

Makes approximately 16 cookies

Look for Wilton Sparkle Gel on the Wilton.com website, at the Bulk Barn (in Canada) or craft stores that sell baking supplies.

I did this today and I did everything right... Yet my cookies came out gooey in the middle.. I literally almost burnt down my house just baking the cookies..

[yoyomax12]

You have to bake them long enough so that they are cooked all the way through and if you almost burned your house down, you need to have your oven checked.

Hey Tammy,

I luv these cookies and really want to make them, however in your sugar cookie dough recipe the second ingredient is shortening and since i live in Australia they either have it and it's not called shortening or they don't have it full stop, is there any sort of ingredient that can replace the shortening but still give the cookies that same risen effect.

Thankx

[ARAButcher8]

[Sean Brogan]

Guys, this method an alright way to make money online but not as easy as Bankroll Blogging Book (google it). I've tried this before and it did not work at all, Bankroll Blogging Book is making me well over $5,000 a month. So search Google for the term Bankroll Blogging Book to find out how you and your partner can too.

[G.T.A. Grace]

your intro is weird

[Elzie Resner]

In Australia you should be able to find something called Copha, it's pretty much the same thing as shortening :)

[zInsaneCatz]

This was alittle weird...but they where good :D
