Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened 🧈
1 cup granulated sugar 🍬
2 large eggs 🥚
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
3 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
1 teaspoon baking powder 🧁
1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
Food coloring (pink, purple, blue, and yellow) 🌈

Instructions:
Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Form Cookie Dough:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Color the Dough:
Divide the cookie dough into separate bowls, one for each color (pink, purple, blue, and yellow).
Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and knead the dough until the color is evenly distributed. Add more coloring for a deeper hue.
Shape and Bake:
Take small portions of each colored dough and roll them together to create a rainbow effect. Roll into small balls about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Decorate:
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
Sprinkle the cookies with colorful sprinkles or edible glitter for a magical touch.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool and Enjoy:
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve:
Once cooled, serve and enjoy your whimsical Unicorn Poop Cookies!
These cookies are fun to make and delightful to eat, perfect for unicorn-themed parties or just for a magical treat! 🦄🍪
