Unicorn Poop Cookies, Yum!

* 1/2 cup butter, softened

* 1/4 cup shortening* 1 cup sugar

* 2 eggs

* 1 tsp. vanilla

* 2 1/2 cups flour

* 1 tsp. baking powder

* 1 tsp. salt

* Food coloring

* disco dust

* sparkle gel

* star sprinkles

* sugar pearls 

In a mixing bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Slowly add flour, baking powder and salt.  

Divide into smaller bowls and add food coloring. Use neon colors in blue, green and purple and then red and yellow.   Chill for at least an hour.

Make snakes with each color.  You don't want them too thick because you have to use all 5 colors to make one large snake.  Be careful!  They break easily.

Make one large snake out of each smaller snake.  This is hard if you use too much flour.  They won't stick together.  So be patient.

Now make your poops.  

Bake in a 400 degree oven for approx. 8 minutes.  

When you take them out of the oven, immediately press in the sugar pearls.  You want to break through the surface and push them in about halfway (or else they will fall out.)

Let the cookies cool.

Now it's time to add the sparkle gel.  Use a new paintbrush and brush a thin layer of the gel over the entire cookie.  Make sure to get inside the cracks.  This won't harden when it dries and will remain somewhat tacky.  Just don't stack your cookies and your good.

Add the stars on top of the gel. 

Your cookies should look something like this.
