St. Patricks Day Dessert cookies

St.Patricks-Day-Shamrock-Dessert.

Hi Friends!

Today I want to share a simple recipe for St. Patrick Day cookies that are fun for lunches, parties or just for fun. You can even drizzle them with some melted candy melts (like I did for Valentine's Day) or frosted with buttercream. I am all about celebrating and do not need much of an excuse.

This is a simple recipe and it does require an hour of chilling, so be sure to plan for that. It is adapted from a Betty Crocker cookbook.

They are so fun and festive and you can also use these to top a cupcake. So easy to make and they are tasty too.

I hope you enjoy them.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
