Description
A magical recipe for colorful Unicorn Cookies that are fun and perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups (285g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 3 ½ cups (420g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon (2g) baking soda
- ½ teaspoon (2g) cream of tartar
- ¼ teaspoon (1.2g) salt
- ½ cup sprinkles
- Gel colors (Pink, Royal Blue, and Violet)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
- Combine the butter with the sugar and beat on medium speed until well creamed together. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until the eggs are well beaten.
- In a separate bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients. Slowly add into the batter and beat on medium-low speed until well combined and the dough starts to form. Then add the sprinkles and finish mixing to incorporate.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal-sized balls. Leave one uncolored and dye the remaining 3 using colors of your choice. Work the color into the dough with a spatula or by hand.
- Place all four doughs into a large bowl and lightly mix with a spoon or by hand to create a tie-dye effect. Avoid overmixing to prevent blending the colors into new colors.
- Use a medium or large cookie scoop to portion the dough. Roll each ball of dough in granulated sugar or add additional sprinkles and place each one about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake at 350° F for 10-12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For best results, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature.
