Looking for a fun yet easy cookie for St. Patrick's Day? These Lucky Lime Leprechaun Cookies are so easy to make!   

This makes about 4 dozen, I think...I had a really hard time keeping my kids out of the cookie dough while I was making these.  

Every time I turned around, they snitched some cookie dough. These cookies are soft and have a fun green color. The light lime-flavored cookies are accented by a tart lime icing drizzled on the top.  

Hope you like them! And don't forget to try my Gold Coin Butter Cookies!

How to make these cute St. Patrick's Day cookies:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare baking sheets by spraying them with non-stick cooking spray or lining the pan with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar.
3. Beat in the eggs, lime extract, and a few drops of green food coloring. Remember that the flour will lighten the color.
4. Beat in the baking soda.
5. Add the flour in 3 additions alternating with the limeade.
6. Scoop dough out onto the prepared baking sheets by tablespoonfuls. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Don't overbake.
7. While the cookies are baking, stir enough of the remaining limeade into the 2 cups of powdered sugar to make a drizzly icing.
8. Drizzle cooled cookies with the lime icing. Enjoy!
