# Ingredients:
For the dough
01 -
1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
02 -
2 oz (55 g) cream cheese, softened
03 -
3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
04 -
1 large egg
05 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 -
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
07 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
08 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the color and sparkle
09 -
Gel food coloring (pink, purple, blue, yellow)
10 -
1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
11 -
1 teaspoon edible glitter (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Cream the butter, cream cheese, and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until fully combined, scraping the bowl once. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until a soft dough forms.
02 -
Split the dough into four or five portions. Knead a different gel food coloring into each portion until evenly colored. Wear gloves to avoid stained hands. Wrap each colored dough tightly in plastic wrap.
03 -
Refrigerate the wrapped dough portions for 30 minutes until firm. Cold dough rolls cleanly and holds its shape during twisting and coiling.
04 -
On a lightly floured surface, roll each color into a rope about 1/2 inch thick and 6 inches long. Press the ropes together gently, twist them lightly, then coil into a loose poop shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press sprinkles into the tops.
05 -
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes until the tops look dry and the bottoms are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Add edible glitter after cooling if desired.
# Good to know:
01 -
Chill time is essential for clean shaping and vivid color separation.
02 -
Use only edible glitter and sprinkles labeled safe for consumption.
