Poop Emoji Cookies

Recipe View In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup confectioners' sugar, 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla sugar, and salt. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut in the cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Add the milk and egg to the dry ingredients. Knead the mixture until a soft dough forms. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Place the dough in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the dough to chill and become easier to handle. (30 minutes)

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Take a portion of the chilled dough and roll it into a long, thin rope, approximately 8 inches in length. Gently pinch one end of the rope to create a slightly pointed tip. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully arrange the dough rope on the prepared baking sheet in a coiled, mound shape resembling a poop emoji, positioning the pointy tip at the top. Leave space between each cookie. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly darkened on the bottom and feel dry to the touch. (12 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the baking sheets from the oven and carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. (2 hours)

Recipe View In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of confectioners' sugar with the lemon juice to create a thin icing. Add more lemon juice, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Once the cookies are completely cool, use a small amount of the icing to adhere two candy eyeballs to each cookie, completing the poop emoji design. Allow the icing to set completely before serving. (15 minutes)
