  2. I love the photo of the cookie! Did you make it? Is it a sugar cookie? Love the idea. Hope you have a wonderful week!

  3. Jean - Yes, my boys and I made a batch of these cookies for St. Patrick's Day. I just made my usual sugar cookie dough recipe and added some food coloring. Then I had the boys roll little 'snakes' and I shaped them into shamrocks. So much easier than using cookie cutters and more fun for the kiddos.
