1. Prepare the Dough: Start by preparing your cookie dough. You can use your favorite sugar cookie recipe or any other cookie dough you prefer.
2. Roll Out the Dough: Roll out the cookie dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. It’s essential to have the dough thick enough to hold the unicorn shape but not too thick that the cookies become overly doughy.
3. Cut Out Unicorn Shapes: Press the unicorn plastic cutter into the rolled-out dough, making sure to apply even pressure. Lift the cutter with the dough still inside, and carefully place the unicorn-shaped cookie onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Repeat: Continue cutting out unicorn shapes from the remaining dough. Make sure to leave enough space between the cookies on the baking sheet, as they will spread while baking.
5. Bake: Follow the instructions from your cookie recipe for the correct baking time and temperature. Generally, cookies are baked in a preheated oven until they turn lightly golden around the edges.
6. Cool: After baking, allow the unicorn-shaped cookies to cool on a wire rack. This helps them firm up and become crisp.
7. Decorate: Once the cookies are fully cooled, you can decorate them with icing, royal icing, or fondant in various colors to create unicorn-themed designs. Add edible sprinkles, edible glitter, and other decorations as desired.

Unicorn plastic cutters are also used for crafting and can cut shapes from materials like fondant, gum paste, or modeling chocolate to create unicorn cake toppers and decorations. They add a touch of magic to baked goods and are particularly popular for children’s parties and celebrations.
