Diana and I decided to make St Patrick's Day cookies for the girls we visit teach. I got lazy and purchased store bought sugar cookie dough (at least the frosting was homemade). Apparently it was not the kind of dough you can roll, cut-out, and have it retain that festive shape.
They kind of look like clovers, right? Good thing I made Diana drive around to find clover cookie cutters.
After the first pan came out like that, we re-formed the next pan into balls to make circle cookies. Then put them in the oven without a timer and didn't remember them until they were quite crisp. Here's Diana posing with not one but TWO ruined pans of sugar cookies.
Third time's a charm. Please work, because we're running out of dough.
Ta da! Round, but green so they still speak to the holiday. They're probably delicious, but I wouldn't really know. (OK well I had a bite and thought it was quite good. Shh don't tell.) This was not a great time to be off sweets when faced with an entire pan of cookies run together that cannot be given away.
And here is the cute new jacket I got in the mail today from my mom for St. Patrick's Day. Thanks mom!

I know a place that is always willing to take non presentable cookies, or other treats for that matter! Thanks for reminding me that I need to wear green on Tuesday!
I'm picturing you planning this blog the entire time you were photographing the process. Am I right? :)
Love the jacket!!
Wow! I had no idea girls worked so hard to get the cookies to turn out well. And they were only for the Relief Society...
oh my sad! Seriously, I know the pain of ruined food... They looked great in the end, though!
