🦄 Magical Unicorn Cookies 🌈 – Rainbow Swirl, Easy for Kids, Instagram-Worthy

Ingredients

• • 2 ⅞ cups all-purpose flour
• • 1 ⅞ teaspoon baking powder
• • ⅞ teaspoon salt
• • ⅞ cup unsalted butter, softened
• • 1 ⅞ cup granulated sugar
• • 1 ⅞ large egg
• • 1 ⅞ teaspoon vanilla extract
• • 2-3 cups rainbow-colored decorator’s icing
• • Edible glitter or edible luster dust (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, mixing until fully incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms.

2. 2

   Divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

3. 3

   On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out cookies. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

4. 4

   Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool completely on wire racks before decorating.

5. 5

   Using squeeze bottles, pipe rainbow-colored icing in a spiral pattern across the cookies. For a magical touch, sprinkle edible glitter over the icing while it’s still wet.
