Unicorn Poop Cookies
I still don’t understand but poop seems to be fascinating to kids. If you have a daughter (or a son that loves mythical creatures) Unicorn Poop may be all the rage. That was the idea behind these Unicorn Poop Cookies.
Don’t let the name scare you, these are delicious and free from any real poop! 😉
Now you’ve probably seen about a dozen different ways to make Unicorn Poop Cookies and that’s okay! I say, the more colorful poop cookies the better!
Side note, we have totally made Unicorn Poop Cupcakes before. You can find that recipe here.
I also want to add that these are more like Unicorn Poop Thumbprint Cookies. You can customize this recipe to your liking. For example, if you have a peanut allergy, instead of using Peanut Butter, you can use SunButter or Almond Butter.

Add in the egg and mix until combined.
In a large bowl, using a whisk mix in the flour, baking powder and salt.

Recipe calls for you to make 1 cookie, followed by 11 more. At the end of the recipe it says that it yields 24. I wish I had seen that earlier. This is a poorly written recipe as size will later baking time.
This is the worst review for cookies I ever attempted.
DO NOT USE !!!!!
Get a peanut butter cookie recipe from BettyCrocker and roll it in the non pareils.
Definitely a total bomb!
What about the peanut butter??
This recipe doesn’t tell you where to add the baking soda or peanut butter.
I added the peanut butter with the butter an shortening an added the baking soda with the dry ingredients
What can I use instead of peanut butter so kids can take to school
