Step-by-Step Instructions for Unicorn Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the room temperature unsalted butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
- Add large eggs and pure vanilla extract, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the rainbow sprinkles using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
- Divide the dough into four portions, color three with gel colors, and leave one uncolored. Knead gently.
- Lightly swirl the colored portions together to create a marbled effect.
- Scoop out small portions, roll into balls, and coat in granulated sugar or extra sprinkles. Place on the baking sheet spaced 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
