Clover Cookies

My fiancé jokes that every holiday is “my favorite” since I get overly giddy about each approaching one.  I can say with certainty though, that Saint Patrick’s Day has never really done it for me.  Sure, I try to wear green to avoid getting pinched, but the thrill of tinted beer and rowdy bars holds little appeal.  That was, until I discovered how fun it was to make holiday-themed treats.  The best part about these sugar cookies?  The more you eat, the luckier you are.  Pinky swear.

P.S. Do not try to buy pre-made sugar cookie dough to save time.  I would show you photographic evidence, but it’s far too grotesque to share.  Just trust me.

P.P.S. Royal icing is a toughie.  The results (after three tries) were perfect; especially when topped with homemade sanding sugar (I combined granulated sugar with food coloring).
