Or... an excuse to wear green clothes, eat green food, drink green beer... and bake green cookies! (You wouldn't expect anything less from us here at scrambledeggsetc, now would you?) I used our favourite shortbread recipe and royal icing, which I dyed with green food paste in various shades.
To decorate, I outlined the cookies in one shade of green. Then I added a tiny bit more water to the icing, so it spread more easily, to "flood" the rest of the cookie. I spooned a bit on and then used a toothpick to help spread it to the border. And there you go - shamrock cookies for March 17!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
