St.
Patrick's Day Cookies
A simple, basic sugar cookie recipe can be jazzed up
for St. Patrick's Day with just a little touch of green.
All you need is a round pasty cutter to make the leaves
of the shamrocks.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Sift flour. Cream butter, sugar
and eggs. Add vanilla and milk to the flour. Blend all
ingredients, then add just enough green food coloring
to color the mixture. Place dough on a lightly floured
board or dry countertop.
Sprinkle some flour over the
dough and roll to about 1/2-inch thick. Using a pastry cutter,
cut out 3 circles. Overlap the circles
into a shape of a shamrock and place on baking tray. Bake at
300 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

Sucanat is
basically dehydrated sugar cane with little to no processing,
making it an excellent source of iron, calcium, vitamin
B6, potassium and chromium, which helps balance blood sugar. Malitol is
a bit more expensive, but is a little less sweet than actual
sugar. What's nice about Sucanat is you can use in a 1:1
ratio wherever you'd use sugar. It's the same kind of reason
why the brown rice syrup is better for you than the corn
syrup you can read
about it here.) You can get more info about using nutritious,
natural sweetener substitutes here.
