Sometimes, you just need to make rainbow Gluten-Free Unicorn Poop cookies. These ones are also coconut free... and GLITTERED! <\/p>\n

\"A <\/p>\n

Note: This recipe was first posted on my original blog, Celebration Generation, on January 5, 2015. It was transferred over to this blog - existing comments and all - on 3\/8\/2021<\/i><\/p>\n

This weekend, I was presented with an interesting challenge. <\/p>\n

We were headed to a party for some of our more.. uh, COLOURFUL ... friends, and it was decided that unicorn poop cookies would be perfect for the occasion. <\/p>\n

We'd all seen these floating around pinterest, and found them good for a laugh.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

As I was the one to bake them, I would do them gluten-free. Doesn't matter to anyone else, as my gf cookies taste at least as good as the \"Real\" thing\".<\/p>\n

... except that one of my friends is severely allergic to coconut, and coconut flour is my big secret ingredient to making gf cookies with great taste and texture. CRAP! (LOL) <\/p>\n

So, I developed this recipe to work around both of our allergies, while still providing a great tasting cookie with a nice soft\/chewy texture. <\/p>\n

I flavoured them with blood orange extract, after discovering that I didn't have any lemon extract. <\/p>\n

They smelled amazing throughout the whole process, and were a big hit at the party!<\/p>\n

Note: As with all gluten-free baking, be sure that any individual ingredients you use are also gluten-free. Americolor is gf, as is the brand of edible glitter we used.<\/i><\/div>\n

Colouring Gluten-Free Unicorn Poop Cookies<\/h2>\n

While you can use grocery store food colouring for this, I prefer to use a nice quality gel based colour, such as Americolor<\/a> (what I used when I was in the USA), or ChefMaster<\/a> (Which is the option more readily available here!)<\/p>\n

You can use the grocery store liquid food colouring if you like - it\u2019ll just take a bit more of it, and you won\u2019t have as many options for the colours. <\/p>\n

I like being able to make ridiculously bright dough, in colours like neon yellow and hot pink, so I love the gel colours!<\/p>\n

Edible Glitter<\/a> is optional - but fun! - for finishing these cookies off. It comes in many colours and styles, readily available online and in cake decorating supply shops.<\/div>\n

How to Make Gluten-Free Unicorn Poop Cookies<\/h2>\n

(Please excuse the crappy cell phone photography for the progress pics - made these while my husband\/photographer was at work!)<\/i><\/p>\n

1. Make the cookie dough, following the recipe below.<\/p>\n

2. Divide dough evenly into as many pieces as you want colours \u2013 I think 5-6 works best. <\/p>\n

(I derped and put WAY too much into the lump that was to be turquoise!).<\/p>\n

3. Colour each with food colouring until desired colour is reached, and dough is uniformly coloured. <\/p>\n

I wanted vibrant, but pastel would be pretty with this, too. Just make sure the colours look good with each other!<\/p><\/div>\n

4. Wrap each colour of dough separately in plastic film, chill for one hour.<\/p>\n

5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper.<\/p>\n

6. Divide each ball of cookie dough into 4 roughly equal-sized lumps. <\/p><\/div>\n

\"20<\/p>\n

7. Roll each new ball into a long log shape.<\/p>\n

8. Taking 1 log of each colour, position a set of logs together, then roll into one large rainbow log. <\/p><\/div>\n

\"Long<\/p>\n

Repeat 3 more times, to make 4 large logs.<\/p>\n

9. Cut each large log in half, and then each half into 3 equal pieces. You will now have 24 small logs.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

10. Roll each small log into a longer log, and twist into a turd shape. Have as much fun with this as you can with sculpting poops!<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

11. Arrange cookie turds evenly across the two cookie sheets, bake 1 sheet at a time for 15-17 minutes, or until bottoms look lightly golden.<\/p>\n

12. Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheets for at least 5 minutes before moving. <\/p>\n

Cookies need to cool completely before decorating with sparkle gel, edible glitter, etc.<\/p><\/div>\n
