SHAMROCK SHAKE SHORTBREAD COOKIES
Delicious green cookies inspired by none other than the famous McD's Shamrock Shake. We're talking buttery green-hued shortbread flavored with vanilla and mint. Atop the cookie lies the best part - the minty buttercream, liberally flavored with vanilla and mint. And then naturally, a maraschino cherry on top.

Steps:
- In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat together the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, mint extract, salt, and green food coloring on medium speed. Beat until smooth and well blended.
- Turn the power to low and mix in the flour just until the dough comes together.
- Lay out a 24" long or so piece of wax paper or parchment paper and sprinkle lightly with flour.
- Carefully turn the dough onto the paper, then, with floured hands, roll the dough into a log about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Roll the dough into the wax or parchment paper, then twist the ends of the paper tightly so the dough forms a round, taut log.
- Refrigerate for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until firm.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove dough from the refrigerator and cut into approximately 18 slices about 3/8" thick. If the dough gets crumbly, let it sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes then try again.
- Lay about one inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until the edges begin to turn brown.
- Remove from oven and let sit for a couple of minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to let cool completely.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 30 seconds.
- Turn the mixer speed to low and slowly pour in the powdered sugar. Once the powdered sugar is incorporated, mix on medium for about 30 seconds.
- Add the vanilla extract, peppermint extract and pinch of salt. Mix for another 30 seconds.
- Add the heavy whipping cream and beat on medium until light and white, about three minutes.
- Place the frosting in a pastry bag (or Ziploc bag - it works) fitted with a star icing tip.
- Squeeze the icing onto the cooled shortbread. I start with the outer circle and end at the top.
- Top each cookie with a half drained maraschino cherry.
- Cookies keep in an airtight container at room temperature for three or four days.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Add the softened butter, sugar, orange peel, and vanilla extract to the bowl of a stand mixer. You can also use a regular medium-sized bowl and a hand mixer . Blend until the ingredients are creamed together.
- Add the egg and beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the milk to the mixture and blend again. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Sift together the dry ingredients and gradually add them to the creamed mixture. After the dough is combined, divide it in half, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out to about 1/8-inch thick.
- Cut out the dough using the shamrock cookie cutter. If you are making the coins, we recommend using a small round cookie cutter. Add the cookies to a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Bake for about 6 to 8 minutes or until set. Keep a careful eye on them while baking so they do not get over-baked. You don't want them to brown.
- Roll out dough scraps into another sheet and repeat cutting out the shapes.
- Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the cookie sheets and then transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare the royal icing . Beat together the powdered sugar, meringue powder, and milk until completely combined. Separate the icing into three bowls.
- In one bowl, add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. This will be the icing for edging the cookies. Place the icing in a piping bag with a small hole attachment.
- In the second bowl add the green food coloring and mix until completely combined. Place the icing in a piping bag with a larger hole opening attachment.
- In the third bowl add yellow food coloring. Add the icing to a third piping bag with a smaller opening.
- Edge all of the cookies with the white icing. Flood each cookie with the green icing, using a toothpick to help spread the icing to the edges. Flood the coins with the yellow icing.
- Allow the cookies to completely dry -- it should take 1 to 2 hours. Use the edging icing to add designs to the tops of the cookies and to attach edible pearls and sprinkles to the cookies.
- You can also thicken the rest of the green and yellow food coloring with more powdered sugar and use that icing to decorate the cookies as well. Allow them to dry and then serve!
