3 Lucky Lime Leprechaun cookies.

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 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!

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Prepare baking sheets by spraying with non-stick cooking spray or lining 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 with 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 over bake.
