I know. Don’t judge me. You’re thinking “that’s totally gross!” But admit it… you’re next thought is “but totally cool!” Right? Come on, admit it. These cookies are totally gross and totally cool at the same time. That’s why we had to make them. A friend on Facebook posted this link on my wall with the comment “if you haven’t made these yet, you need too.” Oh, how people know me so well. Of course I had to make them. They’re Unicorn Poop Cookies for heaven’s sake!
Unicorn Poop Cookies
Source: Instructables
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 1/4 cup shortening* 1 cup sugar
* 2 eggs
* 1 tsp. vanilla
* 2 1/2 cups flour
* 1 tsp. baking powder
* 1 tsp. salt
* Food coloring
* disco dust
* sparkle gel
* star sprinkles
* rainbow Dragees (I used sugar pearls)
In a mixing bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Slowly add flour, baking powder and salt.
Divide into smaller bowls and add food coloring. We used neon colors in blue, green and purple and then red and yellow. That’s unicorn-y right? Chill for at least an hour.
Now comes the hard part. Who knew making poop would be so time consuming. =o)
Make snakes with each color. You don’t want them too thick because you have to use all 5 colors (or however many you chose) to make one large snake. Be careful! They break easily.
Make one large snake out of each smaller snake. This is hard if you use too much flour. They won’t stick together. So be patient.
Now make your poops.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for approx. 8 minutes.
When you take them out of the oven, immediately press in the sugar pearls. You want to break through the surface and push them in about halfway (or else they will fall out.)
Let the cookies cool.
Now it’s time to add the sparkle gel. Use a new paintbrush and brush a thin layer of the gel over the entire cookie. Make sure to get inside the cracks. This won’t harden when it dries and will remain somewhat tacky. Just don’t stack your cookies and your good.
Add the stars on top of the gel. I bought stars that were too big =o( (Note to self for next time.)
Now it’s time to add the disco dust. This is tough and it’s expensive. I pinched a tiny bit out and sprinkled it on top of the cookies. I wish it came in a shaker bottle but it doesn’t.
And now enjoy!
Come on… admit it… you want to make them =o)

Those are adorable!
LOL!! Those are so cute. My daughter is crazy about unicorns and loves potty humor…these would be perfect for her. 🙂
Those are amazing!!! What a great idea 🙂
I have never seen unicorn poop but I’m sure it looks just like this! What a fun post, Erin.
My daughter would love those. Anything with bright colors, sparkles, or sprinkles is right up her alley!
Those are too funny! I’ll have to try and make them I know my niece and nephews would have a blast with them!
I’m not even kidding when I tell you I’m not sure I can go the weekend without making these! It’s SOOOOOO right up my alley!!!!!
I’m new to your blog from your post at Or so she says.. This unicorn poop is so creative! I’ve got to get some of that sparkle gel now. There are so many delicious looking recipes here to try. This blog could be dangerous for my weight-loss goals.
These look awesome! Will def. have to try sometime!

These are so adorable, my daughter would flip for these but in all honesty I am a bad mommy because that is just too much work for me no matter how much she would love them- lol
I made them with my niece. She loved to cook and bake, so all I had to do was measure the ingredients and handle the oven parts an she was fine on her own. It takes a lot of time, but not a lot of effort
Stumbled onto your blog via the blog hop and just wanted to show you some blog luv! def enjoyed this post 🙂 new follower!

Oh my gosh! I bake cookies at the Ronald McDoanld House every week, and I love baking up diffeent kinds of cookies, especially cookies with a bit of fun to them. This is SO going to happen. I can’t wait to give these a try and see how the kids like them. How fun will that be?
How did the kids like them? Was considering doing a twist of these for my daughters b-day party 🙂

The only thing better than a unicorn? That their poop is so pretty. 🙂 love this recipe!
wonderfully colourful
These are really cool!
My daughter and I have had our eye on these for a while now…it’s good to see how they actually worked out with kids.
Now I can’t wait to try them! They are so cute and enchanting. But I didn’t tell her they were poop, just Unicorn cookies 🙂
This made me laugh a lot. they look yummy
I love these cookies!!! They are so fun and cute! My husband wouldn’t eat them if I told him what they’re called, so we’ll just go rainbow cookies 🙂 Ha ha 🙂 Thanks for a great post, Erin!
So so fun! My son would have ablast making them, and serving people the unicorn poop! Would love for you to share at http://iamaddictedtorecipes.blogspot.ca/p/link-party.html
Have a great night!
I’ve seen these too and thought I’ve got to make them! Yours turned out great!
This is just so funny! We have our first ever Beautify It Monday link party open right now! We’d love it if you stopped by and linked up at bringingbeauty.blogspot.com
I have seen versions of this using a meringue, but I am so glad this isn’t one of them! How fun are these?
Yup, now I want to make them! 🙂
This is awesome and so colorful 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Sharing Saturday.
These cookies are genius!!! Colourful and full of zest 😀

Would have loved this as a child!
These just make me giggle. Too cute!
Yes I have to admit I so want to make these! You are brilliant!!
What a perfect(and funny) name for these colorful, sparkly cookies! Love it!
Thanks for sharing these cute cookies at Your Cozy Home Party. I’m sure it was fun for the kids making them.– Shannon
That is amazing! I love this so much. I’m trying to cut sugar out of my diet but these look sooooo worth breaking that lol. Are they soft and chewy or do they turn out like crunchy cookies?
They are chewy but if you can find disco dust, you’ll need to add a little extra sugar so they will be sweet enough
Hate to be a party “pooper” but I feel I simply could not eat one with it named as it is…gonna call them unicorn magic morsels…or something…..sorry, I know it is the result of growing up with a gross older brother…CAN’T DO IT!
really cute though, my kids are gonna love them!
OK, these are too cute and I had to click over when I read the name. Thanks for the laugh and for linking with Sugar & Spice. 🙂

Adorable! Yes, the title is so funny! They look delicious!

I love this 🙂 I have a friend who loves unicorns and has a great sense of humor. I think I am going to make them for her! On a side note, I think your kids are the luckiest kids in the world. I have been checking your blog out since I started mine and I love the fun things you do for your kids 🙂 What a fun mom!!!
Hi Erin,
Your little ones are just adorable. I know that is supposed to be poop but those cookies are so pretty, I just love them. Hope you are having a great week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

What a ‘craft’… all kids would thoroughly enjoy making these! Sure would love to know how long it took to make them. Sounds like a great science lesson 🙂 Thanks for sharing with us at Kids in the Kitchen. Hope to see you again next week!
thanks for linking up with Kids in the Kitchen! my boys would like this wayyyy to much lol – hilarious!
This is the cutest poop I’ve ever seen! What a fun idea, love the little stars on top too 🙂
Thanks for sharing at Happy lil ❤’s are baking x
Puma has been one of the most

Okay, this one takes the cake! I’m a follower! I HAVE to make these! My girls will laugh their little butts off! 🙂

check check it. there is bubblegum scented unicorn poop soap too! Its not just unicorn either
Rob Brezsny suggests Pisces make these this week. Admittedly, if I had an oven I think I’d opt for the M&M pudding cookies, but still I can see the appeal of the rainbows and sparkles. Who couldn’t?
This is just plain awesome! Entrenched in the days of potty training when talk of pee and poo takes up way more time than it used to it is humor like this that gets me through!
I could have sworn that I entered to win unicorn poop soap lol. Thank You. Jerri Davis
My kids would get a kick out of this!
so cute! and yummy!

I made these with my neice, and she had SO MUCH FUN. All I had to do was measure the ingredients and do the oven work. They are very time consuming but very easy to make. But if you can’t find disco dust, I would recommend that you add a little extra sugar or just sprinkle some on top. It’s not quite sweet enough otherwise. Plain sugar adds some sweetness and some sparkle
Oh, that’s hilarious. And disgusting. And delicious, probably!
These are hilarious–I love them. I’m going to have to make them!
Where in the heck did you get that recipe or did you make it up? They do look good though!
Hmmm interesting concept. I don’t know if I would take the time to make them. The kiddos would love these though.
its cute and very colorful and kids would love to eat it so as long as it taste good im in haha love cookies
These look so freaking cool.
Those are so cute!! What a fun name for cookies – I bet the kids love them!!
Thats a great idea. I love the colors
What a great recipe, they look so cool, and I love that you included your little one. It makes those cookies even better:)
Thank you for the recipe! I am going to try to make these, they are too adorable!
The name can really throw you off but the kids would all love them. Colorful like a rainbow and they sound great
WOW!!! They look too beautiful to eat! I’m going to try this with my kids
