Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in flour until well blended. Work with half the dough at a time; refrigerate remaining dough until needed.
2 Shape dough into 70 (3/4-inch) balls; reserve 7 balls. Roll each of the remaining balls in green sugar. To form each shamrock, place 2 balls with sides touching and 1 ball on top on ungreased cookie sheets. For stems, divide each reserved ball into 3 pieces. Roll each piece into ball, then in green sugar; shape into a triangle. Place 1 triangle pointed side up at bottom of each cookie between 2 balls for stem.
3 Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

They are very festive, yummy and fun for the office. I rolled mine out and used a shamrock cookie cutter then sprinkled with green suger.

A really fun, festive little exercise in creative baking. I was a little disappointed in the finished product, however...didn't look so much like the photograph. They spread out more...maybe I needed to add more than the 1/4 cup flour? (I did refrigerate dough between working with it.) Not only a fun treat for kids; it also provided a fun treat for the elderly!
