These St. Patrick’s Day Cookies are the perfect excuse to get playful with decorating. Shamrock-shaped sugar cookies turn into tiny edible canvases, finished with royal icing in a variety of easy, festive designs. Keep it simple with a single color, add some sprinkles, or try a slightly more detailed piped pattern without making it complicated. Whether you prefer clean, classic greens or more intricate decorative touches, this recipe is all about fun ways to dress up shamrock cookies for a sweet St. Patrick’s Day celebration. And if you don’t have cookie cutters, I show a method that uses circular cookies too.
