Free St. Patrick’s Day Printable & Amazing Sugar Cookie Recipe!

I find St. Patrick’s Day a little calmer than some other holidays.

I have a little more time to make a treat and show appreciation to neighbors and friends. I am “LUCKY” to know some great people.  Here is a simple way to thank friends who have made a difference in my life and in my kids’ lives.

Today I’m sharing both a delicious sugar cookie recipe (and icing recipe) — and a free St. Patrick’s Day printable for your friends, neighbors and loved ones!

Inspired by this quote,

A Friend is a treasure, more precious than Gold. For love shared is priceless, and never grows old. -Unknown

 I’ve put together this fun gift idea. These sugar cookies are a favorite.  The charger plates were on sale at Michaels for less than $2.

 

And here are the recipes!

Amy Dott’s Favorite Sugar Cookie Recipe

2 cups of butter

2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

(Tip: If you do not want the cookie shapes you cut out to puff up and lose their shape, leave the soda out)

3 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

¼ teaspoon salt

6 cups of flour or until the dough pulls away from the edges

Crème together.

Sometimes I roll the dough our after spraying pam on the counter top and cut out whatever cookie cutter shape I want to or, if I am in a hurry, I just use a cookie scoop.

Bake at 370 degrees 8-10 minutes

Amy Dott’s Cream Cheese Frosting
