Is it your birthday today? Congratulations! Then treat some cute unicorn cookies at school, at the shelter, at the club or at your children's party! Do you have time and desire to bake them yourself? Baking the cookies is already a feast in itself, and if you bake them yourself, they are really tastier!

Sarah Jegers baked these unicorns so that her daughter of 5 years could treat them to school. That was a real success, she told me. She made the dough with biscuit mix, 2 days prior to the birthday, you can keep the biscuits for a long time, in an airtight package. The day before the birthday she decorated the biscuits with the royal icing technique.

The Royal Icing is made with egg white, powdered sugar, lemon juice and water. You can draw lines with it and color your cookies nicely. The basic recipe for Royal Icing can be found clearly and extensively described at: Cupcake recipes

Method of preparation:Process the ingredients at room temperature. Knead 500 g of mix, 150 g (cream) butter and 1 egg (50 g) to form a dough. Leave to stiff in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection oven 160°C). Roll out the dough on a floured worktop (up to approx. 3 mm thick). Put out the cookies and bake them in the middle of the oven for about 12 minutes until golden yellow. Allow the cookies to cool and decorate them to your liking. Suitable for approx. 25 biscuits of 7-10 cm, depending on thickness and shape.

Decorating the unicorns is step by step; first the nose, the mane, the horn, the rest of the head and finally the eyes and nostrils. When the unicorns are ready, present them in a nice basket. Do you find it hard to keep your hands off before you buy a treat? Then put transparent foil around it so that no one can eat it beforehand! Have a lot of treat fun and eat tasty!
