Ingredients
Directions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar and butter and whisk together until fluffy. Add the cream and vanilla, and stir.
-
Combine the salt, baking powder, and flour, and add the dry ingredients to the sugar/butter mixture, then mix thoroughly.
-
Roll the dough out to a thickness of ¼ inch. On a floured surface, cut out the cookies using shamrock-shaped cookie cutters.
-
After you've cut out the cookies, place on a lined baking sheet.
-
Bake in a 350-degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Wait several hours (until the cookies are completely cool) before icing.
- Put half of your royal icing into piping bags or squeeze bottles. Add water to the remaining icing in small amounts until the icing is thinned â when you dip a toothpick into it and pull it out, you should get a thin ribbon of icing running off the toothpick. This is your flood icing. Put the flood icing into squeeze bottles.
-
Use the royal icing to pipe outlines onto your cookies.
-
Use the flood icing to fill outlined areas.
-
Decorate the shamrocks with sprinkles while the flood icing is still wet.
-
Enjoy!
