For a different recipe for green cookies, make these matcha cookies! They have a subtly earthy taste.
Butter: Creamy, rich butter makes for a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture. White sugar: Sweetens up the dough. Eggs: Act as a binding agent. Vanilla extract: Adds warmth and aroma. All-purpose flour: Provides the structure to perfectly balance chewiness and crispness. Baking soda: Helps the cookies rise and become light and fluffy. Salt: Balances everything out! Powdered sugar: To make the icing deliciously sweet. Green food color: You can either purchase some or see the recipe notes to make your own all-natural version using spinach! Water or lemon juice: Lemon juice gives a little bright citrus note to these St Patrick’s Day cookies, but you can also use water.
Green icing: Check out or recipe notes for a method to making all-natural green frosting, or use green food color instead. Use a piping bag or icing pen to create polka dots with orange or white frosting around the outside, or make little patterns. Sprinkles: Use green, orange, and/or white sprinkles to reference the colors of the Irish flag, or get some adorable St Patrick’s Day sprinkles. Edible glitter: Sprinkle some edible glitter over your shamrock sugar cookies to make them shine! You can get a variety of colors. Good luck chocolate coins: Get some edible chocolate coins to decorate your cookies with, in theme! Chocolate drizzle: Melt white or dark chocolate, then drizzle it over the cooled cookies. You could also dip a corner of the cookies into melted chocolate.
