I found shamrock cookie cutters at Michaels for $1.  Yep, $1.  So I created these, very similar to last week’s sandwich cookies, minus the filling. 4 ingredients.  You can’t go wrong.  When I asked my youngest if  chocolate chip cookies were his favorite, he told me “No the St. Patrick’s Day ones.”  Woohooo!

After a little trial and error, this is what worked best for me.  Originally I tried to roll out the entire dough into one big sheet instead of individually, but sadly that didn’t work. After cutting out the shapes, I placed them on the cookie sheet and baked them like normal.
