Notes: So I made 200 of these for my dad’s handball club’s St. Patricks day luncheon! I stayed up late in to the night making them, chatting with the roomies, and busting them out. They are quick as long as you keep moving, yummy, and very festive. There is nothing like making green cookies. You can make any shape, add different flavorings, or like me, accidently put sour apple sprinkles on some of them! I hope you like them, and happy st. patties!
