It's St. Patrick's Day and I don't let a holiday go by without making some sugar cookies. In Boston, St. Patrick's Day is no minor celebration. In addition to being able to find corned beef and cabbage at almost every restaurant there is a huge parade in South Boston and major political roast. If you are in the Boston area you need to experience the St. Patrick's Day parade at least once. It's a rite of passage.
I decided to go simple for these cookies and do different patterns in the same shape. I bought the green food coloring a while ago, to make sure I didn't have a repeat of looking for red coloring at every store in the Boston area, like on the 4th of July. Mr. Apron appreciates this since he's usually the one I send out to the store.
Happy St. Patrick's Day. I hope you are drinking a pint of Guinness or a glass of Bailey's on the rocks while your reading this.
The sugar cookie and royal icing recipe I use can be found here.

Cute cookies...glad Mr. Apron didn't need to make an emergency run for food coloring :)
Now these are definitely lovely looking shamrocks! lovely glittery decorations, too. The celebrations sound great fun and had no idea that there was even such a thing in Boston. Have fun today.
So sparkly and cute! Very festive cookies! Yum! ♥- Katrina
Love the shade of green of your icing! I wish I had the time to make something this year! Looks fabulous!
Very nice! I like the different patterns on them so they aren't all the same.
Love the patterns and the color. I've never been to the parade in Boston but I've heard great things about it. Have to put that on the bucket list. Happy St. Paddy's Day!
Super cute!
Wonderful job on these cookies.
