Easy Unicorn Shortbread Cookies
These easy unicorn shortbread cookies make a magical treat and bake up in no time with just 5 main ingredients!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 Cups Flour
- 1 Cup Unsalted Butter softened
- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Tsp Kosher Salt
- 3-4 Tbsp Blue Spirulina Powder Add more if you want a deeper purple color
- 1 Cup Unicorn Chips Morsels Nestlé Brand
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Cream your butter, sugar, vanilla, blue spirulina powder with a stand or hand mixer on medium-high speed for 5-6 minutes until well mixed.
- Add your flour and salt to the butter/sugar mixture, mix on low/medium speed. It will look dry and clumpy if you are using a hand mixer, but if you are using a stand mixer, the dough will come together.
- If using a hand mixer, use your hands to clump the dough together so it sticks and forms a ball. Knead it a few times.
- Sprinkle in your unicorn chips and knead those in until evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle flour on your counter and rolling pin, add the dough and roll out to about 3/8" thick. Cut out in shapes. We used a heart cutter that was 2.5" wide. You can use any shape but do adjust the baking times if using a smaller or larger sized shape.
- Place your cut-out shapes onto a parchment lined baking paper about 2 inches apart. Bake for approximately 15 minutes at 375 degrees. Remove, allow to cool on the cookie sheet for several minutes then transfer to a wire baking rack to continue cooling.
