Buttercream Frosting
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup butter
- 3 tablespoon milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- Green gel food coloring
- Green sugar sprinkles
- St Patrick's day sprinkles (I used Decopac St. Patrick's Day Fusion Mix Candy sprinkles)
Sugar Cookies
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.
Using a large bowl, add softened butter, oil and sour cream, and beat on medium speed for one minute.
Add sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract and beat until smooth.
Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix on low speed just until dough forms a ball. Next, stir in the mint baking chips.
Using a 1 ½-inch cookie scoop, scoop out the cookie dough and place on the prepared baking sheet. Leave the rough looking edges.
Using the bottom of a glass, that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, flatten each cookie a bit to produce even more of the jagged edges.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly browned.
Remove cookies from oven and let cool for 5 minutes and then remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
Buttercream Frosting
In a medium mixing bowl, cream butter, milk and vanilla together. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until smooth and creamy.
Add gel coloring, stir, and add additional food coloring to get desired results.
Once cookies have cooled completely, frost cookies with a generous amount of frosting, then sprinkle with green sugar sprinkles, and any St. Patrick's Day sprinkles.
Let the frosting setup then place cookies in a container for storing and place parchment paper in between the layers.
