Shamrock Sugar Cookies
The sweetest little treats you'll have on St. Patrick's Day are cut-out Shamrock Sugar Cookies! A mini heart-shaped cookie cutter is all you need to make the shamrock shape.
Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 3-4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2-3 cups butter dairy-free softened
- 16 oz sugar powder organic
- 1 tbsp almond extract organic
- 6 oz cornstarch non-GMO organic
- sugar green sprinkles
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, cornstarch, and flour. Sett them aside.
- Cream the vegan butter until it is smooth. Combine in the dry ingredients and almond extract. Stir well.
- Make two balls out of the dough. Press down slightly.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour. After one hour, remove one of the balls from the fridge.
- Put the ball on a cookie sheet and roll it out to a thickness. On the cookie sheet, cut the shamrock shape or any shape you desired. (See note 1)
- Before baking, dust the shape with colored sugar. (See note 2)
- Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 15 minutes. (See note 3)
Notes
-
Remove any excess dough from around and between the stars.This dough will be reused.
- I topped the cut-out star with a smaller star and sprinkled sugar inside the cutout. This creates a nice edge and prevents the sugar from spilling onto the cookie sheet.
- Cook on a wire rack until done. Repeat until all of the dough has been used.
-
Sprinkle the sugar on if you don't have a smaller star cookie cutter.
