Shamrock Sugar Cookies are so much fun to make with the kids.

Seeing as how the kids are always eating me out of house and home, I decided to make some Shamrock Sugar Cookies and they turned out magically delicious. I made the cookie dough and rolled it into a roll wrapped it in saran wrap and stuck it in the refrigerator so it could firm up. Then I went about making a stencil so that I could put the sugar on the top in a shamrock pattern. Here’s how I did it.

Shamrock Sugar Cookies

I borrowed this recipe from Allrecipes.com. I am always looking up new recipes there.

Ingredients:

3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
1 cup butter (softened)
1 egg, lightly beaten (egg should be at room temperature)
3 Tablespoons half-and-half
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions for Shamrock Sugar Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Cream together sugars, shortening and butter. Mix in the eggs and mix well.
Stir in flour, cream of tartar and baking soda. Stir in vanilla and salt and stir until well blended.
Roll dough place in fridge for 2 hours.
Slice and then top with sugar inside of your stencil you made.
Eat, voila!
