Method
Baking the Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until creamy and light, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, blending until fully incorporated.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture to your wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a shamrock cookie cutter to create shapes.
- Arrange the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool the cookies on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes before transferring them.
Decorating the Cookies
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth and drizzly. Adjust consistency if needed.
- Decorate each cooled cookie with the green icing.
