Another holiday means another opportunity to make cutout cookies to celebrate that holiday.   Ahead of St. Patrick’s day tomorrow, I made cutout shamrock cookies, using this multi shape cookie cutter that someone gave me a million years ago (I actually have 2 for some reason)

And I just happened to have green colored sugar to sprinkle on top!

Also, I only had time to bake half of these today, so the rest will be baked and brought in tomorrow to work.

• Ingredients list
• 1 1/3 cups crisco
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 3 tbs milk
• 4 cups flour
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

Directions – in a bowl, cream crisco and sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Mix in dry ingredients.  On a floured surface, roll dough to desired thickness, cut out cookies.  I chilled the cutouts overnight before baking.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners.  Stagger cookies on sheet.   Sprinkle colored sugar on top, if you want. 

Bake 8 minutes, no longer (trust me).  Cool completely. 

• Frosting/filling ingredients
• 4 tbs butter melted
• 2-3 cups powdered sugar
• Milk
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• Food coloring (opt)

Combine butter and 2 cups powdered sugar.  Add a few tbs of milk and vanilla.  Add more powdered sugar or milk to get desired consistency.  Frost,

or make sandwich cookies. 

Store in covered container.
