Let’s take a trip over the rainbow! These St. Patrick’s Day Sugar Cookies are making us feel luckier than ever.

Rainbows, gold coins, and leprechauns – oh my! Hey, everyone… Lisa here from Fabulous Habits and I’m back with another themed dessert. Did you see my Easter cupcakes and Valentine’s sugar cookies?

I was never one to go out to party on St. Patricks’s Day – even in my college days. Being more of a homebody, I was more keen on baking than drinking green beers with my peers. Lucky for me, my friends were the same way. In fact, we still enjoy spending time in the kitchen together.

For this year’s St. Patty’s celebrations, I opted for cut-out sugar cookies. I found the cutest clover-shaped cookie cutter and once I purchased it, I wanted to use it right away.

Decoratin’ Time

The easy trick for making perfectly decorated St. Patrick’s Day sugar cookies is using fondant and the same cookie cutter you used to cut out your cookie.

Once the cookies are cool, roll out your fondant so that it’s about a quarter of an inch thick. Using the same cookie cutter, cut out 12 fondant clovers. Press one on each cookie.
