ST. PATRICK'S DAY COOKIES


Happy St. Paddy's Day!!!! I went back to the holiday chapter to make these shamrock cookies in honor of the holiday. They were basically a sugar cookie flavored with peppermint instead of vanilla or almond. Instead of rolling the dough out and using cookie cutters, the shamrocks were shaped by making four dough balls, pressing them into clover shape and then adding the stem. A bit labor-intensive but I learned quickly to make the balls bigger so the project went faster. You can see from the picture how the size progression went. Anyway, it was fun and would be a good project to do with kids. Oh...also put green decorator sugar on them Hope everyone gets a green beer today!
