Instructions

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Tint the dough with green food coloring to your desired shade and mix well.
  7. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  8. Use shamrock-shaped cookie cutters to cut out cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
