If you've got little girls in your house, there's a good chance they love unicorns. Unicorns are everywhere these days! No one can really escape this beloved mythical creature. Who even wants to try?

How to make Magical Unicorn Sprinkle Chocolate Chip Cookies
Making these cookies is as simple as subbing the unicorn morsels and sprinkles into your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe! I used my Gluten-free Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe as the base.

Are Nestle Unicorn Chips Gluten-free?
- According to Nestle's customer support team, Yes!
- Although, the package does not explicitly state they are gluten-free.
- There are no gluten-containing ingredients on the label: *(SUGAR, PALM KERNEL OIL, HYDROGENATED PALM OIL, BLUE 1 LAKE, RED 3, SOY LECITHIN, MILK, VANILLA EXTRACT). *Ingredients list as of 9/20/19
- The Nestle company website states "We label all major allergens, including those containing gluten, in our products’ ingredients lists."
So are they gluten-free? Yes, but I wish they would state that on the label like they do for their semi-sweet morsels!
Just FYI: these cookies are sweet! Super sweet. My son joked that they gave him an

2 cups of unicorn chocolate chips seemed like way too much so I used 1 cup and that was lots. I can’t imagine using 2 cups plus all the sprinkles.

Taste is ok. Tried to roll them out on floured surface(Easter shapes). Failure for the most part. Dough spreads too much, does not hold shape. Will not repeat.

I agree these are extremely sweet, not really my favorite recipe. I thought it would be fun to share anyway, especially for someone who might have little kids that loved sprinkles and unicorns and would maybe get a kick out of helping to make them, like my daughter did. As far as rolling them out... that absolutley will not work and was never mentioned as an option in the recipe. It is a drop cookie recipe, not a roll-out cookie recipe.
