What better way to celebrate the luck of the Irish than with St. Patrick’s Day cookies? These are made with our family’s tried and true sugar cookie recipe. It’s pretty much fool-proof.
St. Patrick’s Day Cookies
But the real magic is in the hard glaze. It allows you to use Wilton’s Food Writers to decorate them. It’s a special glaze recipe so that it dries hard and is the perfect surface for the markers to write on. Oh, and yes, that’s edible ink!
Set the Glaze
Do be sure to allow the glaze to harden overnight, or at least 12 hours. This will ensure it’s set enough before trying to color on them.
Too, if you want that bright white color, pick up some white food coloring. It’s not completely necessary, but if you leave it out of the glaze recipe, the color will be a little off white and the colors won’t ‘pop’ quite as much.
Of course, these cookies aren’t just limited to St. Patrick’s Day. They’re fun for any time of year and completely customizable.
Happy baking!
