Unicorn Marshmallows
  1. Grease a 9” x 13” square pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, pour in ½ cup water and sprinkle gelatin on top. Mix to combine.
  3. In a medium saucepot, bring ½ cup water, granulated sugar, corn syrup, and salt to a rolling boil (rapid and large bubbles) and boil for 1 min or until a candy thermometer reads 240 F. Do not stir while mixture is cooking, and be careful! This mixture is extremely hot – ask an adult for help if you’re not comfortable handling the boiling sugar syrup.
  4. Slowly drizzle in sugar syrup along side of bowl with gelatin. Turn to high speed and whip for 8-10 min until thick and fluffy. Mix in peppermint extract.
  5. Immediately pour into prepared pan, and spread out with an offset spatula. Leave to sit for 6 hours or preferably overnight.
  6. Whisk together powdered sugar and cornstarch and set aside.
  7. Sprinkle a work surface with powdered sugar and cornstarch mixture, and turn out marshmallow slab. Cut with cookie cutters, and sprinkle with additional powdered sugar/cornstarch if needed.
  8. Decorate using sprinkles and white chocolate chips as seen in video.
Pink Hot Chocolate
  1. Mix together milk, white chocolate, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Mix in pink food color.

Also, bonus tip! These cookies will get soft and chewy if not eaten within 3-4 hours. If you plan to make these ahead of time, store them in an air-tight container. When it’s time to serve, toast them in a toaster oven or a regular oven set at 350F for about 2-3 minutes, just until they’re warmed. Let cool, and they’ll get crispy again! 😀

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat OR lightly grease a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place fortune cookie template beneath mat/parchment paper.
  2. Beat together egg whites, vanilla extract, almond extract, and canola oil together until foamy.
  3. In a serarate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir into wet ingredients, then mix in water. Color a small portion of batter pink if desired.
  4. Spoon out about 1 T of batter for normal size fortune cookies and spread over template OR 1/2 T for mini cookies. Cookies should just barely translucent. Add sprinkles/pink batter if desired, then bake for 8 min (normal cookies) or 6 min (mini cookies). Keep an eye on them and take them out when golden brown around the edges.
  5. Immediately flip cookies over and place fortune below center line of cookie face-down. Fold cookie in half, then drape over a cup/bowl and fold. Let cool.
