Baking Rainbow Unicorn Cookies with Deadpool.
The recipe is simple and the cookie dough requires no chilling. And I can guarantee the cookies won't spread, so no fat unicorns either! We bought a unicorn cutter from Amazon
Cookie Recipe
420g self raising flour200g sugar
220g butter, cut into chunks (we used margarine this time and I can testify that butter is better! use butter)
1 egg
A few drops of vanilla essence
Wilton Food colouring
Method
- Cream together the sugar and butter, add the egg and vanilla and mix.
- Gradually add the flour and stir in until combined.
- Divide the cookie dough into 6. Use the food colouring to dye each piece a separate colour. Add a few drops of the colour and knead the dough to mix it.
- Break tiny pieces of each coloured dough and lay them togther on a piece of baking parchment or silicone sheet.
- Using another piece of baking parchment on top of the pieces, roll them into a mosaic of dough. I did this in small amounts.(Don't roll direct onto a work top or you'll need extra flour and then the colours won't stick together)
- Cut out the cookie shapes.
- Continue to do this, and reroll the left over dough until it's all used up (or looks like hideous mixed purple/brown playdough whichever comes first)
- Bake the cookies at gas 4 ( 180C ) for 10-12 minutes.
- Allow them to cool before decorating.
