In case the Epic Poop post has you reaching for a unicorn chaser, I bring you...unicorn poop. Specifically, DIY unicorn poop from Instructables user kristylynn84. The secret ingredient is love. And poop. And "sugar cookies, rainbow dragees, rainbow star sprinkles, white sparkle gel, and rainbow disco dust."

Unicorn Poop!

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    The multi-hued curls of steam coming off the freshly “laid” cookie is a nice effect.

    These would be fun to take to a family gathering.  “Mmmm, these are good, what do you call these?”  Hehe.

    And to my rabid brother-in-law: “See the rainbow? They’re cookies that make you gay.  Care for another?”

    Is the unbaked dough “unicorn santorum”?

    Cute

  • http://www.facebook.com/jameskloiber James Kloiber

    cute, but doesn’t look like horse$#!t (assuming the unicorn digestive system works like a real horse’s would) , which comes out in rounded chunky nuggets as opposed to a single log that ends up in a nice swirly pile… but then again, unicorns are magic, as would be their poop.

      “(assuming the unicorn digestive system works like a real horse’s would ”  

      Such assumptions are ill-advised where unicorns are involved.

    Is poop vegan?

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Christopher-Lee/100001074475538 Christopher Lee

       It depends on what the unicorn ate. Also, it usually doesn’t have a face. Usually.

    • chgoliz

      If you don’t kill the animal to get it, it’s vegetarian.

      If you *use* an animal in any way to get it, then it’s not vegan.  Especially if it interferes with their ability to get on with their own lives (such as taking honey from bees).

      So, there’s an argument to be made that if you were to come upon this left behind as refuse in the forest, you *could* eat it….but you can’t corral unicorns to produce poop for your consumption.

        Wait a minute.  Are you saying that if I found a dead animal in the forest and ate it, that would be vegan?

        • chgoliz

          You’d probably get sick (if you’ve been v*gan long enough to no longer have the enzymes to digest the meat….to say nothing of the bacterial issues) but *SOME* vegans would say that was an acceptable option.  Others would not, of course.

          Placenta is another one of those which-way-do-you-side food items.

    • Cowicide

      As long as it’s homemade it’s ok; Otherwise, it upsets the ecology because unicorn poop is a special bear treat.

    Unicorns piss sunshine

    • Grahamers2002

      But it looks a lot like lemonade, which is what I severed these with when I made them a few months ago!

        Only Unicorn pee can cut Unicorn poop?

    I’m so disappointed.  I thought the headline said “How to make a unicorn poop cookies,” but I clicked through to read that I have to do all the work myself.
