Quite literally everyone loves unicorns and rainbows, and they're clearly not going anywhere any time soon so I've put together my very own unicorn rainbow dairy free cookie recipe (catchy name I know). This is my second recipe which I've created from scratch, usually I'll refer to a baking book when I fancy baking so I'm really pleased with the results of my very own creation! I think these would make such a fun addition to a food table at a kids party, gifts for your best friends or just something fun to bake one afternoon. Plus these are suitable if you know someone on a dairy free diet! Who said vegans were boring?!
To make the vegan delicious rainbow unicorn cookies you'll need:
100g vegan butter/spread
100g caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
150g self -raising flour
Three Vegan food colourings/gels
Vegan sprinkles
How to bake these vegan delicious rainbow unicorn cookies:
- Pre-heat the oven to 190c or Gas mark 5 and line your baking tray with grease proof paper.
- Measure the butter and sugar into a medium sized mixing bowl and beat until creamy. Add the vanilla extract and the vegetable oil until mixed well.
- Gradually mix in the flour and if you're finding it hard to mix, use your hands to make the dough come together. Then pop the bowl into the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Then separate the mixture into three different bowls and add a small amount of food colouring to each. You want to make sure you do not mix your colours at this point.
- Then using either your hands or a spoon mix the colour into your dough, do this to each of your bowls.
- Once the colour is mixed in, take a little bit of dough from each bowl and roll them together so it makes a ball, take enough for it to make one cookie. You should notice a marbling effect as the colours come together. Do this to all of of your mixture until you have none left.
- After they are all on your baking tray, add your sprinkles. Gently tap them into the dough, this helps them stick.
- Then put them into the oven for around 15 minutes.
- Once out of the oven leave the cookies to cool on the tray for 10 minutes.
- These cookies should last for up to a week in an airtight tin. Delicious!

Everyone love cookies, especially when they're soft, chewy and full of chocolate. With so many people following a vegan and dairy free diet at the moment I had a go at testing my very own recipe and baking some of everyone's favourite cookie, the chocolate chip. This recipe is super simple and it takes no time at all to whip up a batch, so it's really handy to have if you have people coming over. I really hope you enjoy baking these and sharing with friends and family. P.S Don't forget to serve with the traditional glass of milk (almond or soy of course). I also have another exciting cookie recipe coming up which has been inspired by everyone's favourite mythical creature... any guesses what it could be?

- Spoon big teaspoons of the mixture onto your baking tray. This recipe should make around 8-9 big cookies or 20 smaller ones.
- Then put them into the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once out of the oven leave the cookies to cool on the tray for 10 minutes.
- These cookies should last for up to a week in an airtight tin but I doubt they'll last that long!
Before I start this recipe post and take any credit for it, I am going to say that I stole the recipe from Vivianna Does make up and made a few tweaks! So for my version of this recipe you will need:
200g unsalted butter,
300g caster sugar,
1 large egg,
275g self-raising flour,
75g cocoa powder,
One big bar of milk chocolate (around 100g-150g)
2 tubes of smarties
and some milk.
300g caster sugar,
1 large egg,
275g self-raising flour,
75g cocoa powder,
One big bar of milk chocolate (around 100g-150g)
2 tubes of smarties
and some milk.
Pre-heat your oven to 200°C. Cube your butter and pop into the microwave if it isn't soft already and mix in with your sugar until you have a creamy consistency Once your happy with your mixture, crack the egg and continue mixing. Once you have a smooth pale yellow mixture add in your cocoa powder and your flour. I found that my mixture wasn't mixing too well so I added milk until I had a thick but manageable mixture.
I added my broken up chocolate and smarties to the mixture, and then lined my two trays with grease proof paper or baking paper. This mixture should make around 12-14 cookies, so take a hand full of the mixture roughly make into a ball shape and flatten and place on the baking tray and bake for around 10 minutes. When you take them out of the oven they will be slightly runny so be careful! Then for the difficult part, leave to cool for around 20-30 minutes as they will stiffen up and enjoy (they're perfect when they're warm.) My tip is if they've lasted in your house longer than an hour, pop them in a microwave for a few seconds and the cookie will be nice and warm again!
