Rainbow & Shamrock Cookies
by Amanda Formaro


Click here for a larger view
This St. Patrick's Day, decorate and dress up some plain old sugar cookies to be the life of the party... heck, why not MAKE them the party? Get your kids together to decorate and have a good time!

You will need

store bought or home baked round sugar cookies (any round cookie will do)
white cake frosting
cake decorator gels in black, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple
small yellow candies (we used mini M&M's, Nerds and Chiklets)
small round green candies

What you do

Spead each cookie with white frosting.

Place the yellow candies in the area that you want your "pot of gold" to be.

Use black decorator gel to draw on and color in a pot under the "gold".

Use rainbow colored decorator gels to draw on rainbows. Rainbow colors go in the following order:

red
orange
yellow
green
blue
purple

You can also decorate cookies with shamrocks by simply placing three round green candies in a triangle and drawing on a shamrock stem with green decorator gel.
