Using your choice of cookie cutters, you can enjoy these soft-baked vanilla bean sugar cookies<\/strong> as any shape you want. I’m showing shamrock-shaped<\/strong> cookies for St. Patrick’s Day! Without frosting, the vanilla bean cookies are lightly sweetened and fabulous with coffee or tea. But if you want to add some dazzling decoration, top with vanilla bean buttercream and a happy dose of sprinkles.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One reader, Rachel, commented:<\/strong> “This is basically the only sugar cookie recipe I make now. The addition of the vanilla beans and extra vanilla flavor really take these over the top, and I always get rave reviews on these. <\/em>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/strong>“<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for a treat to serve on St. Patrick’s Day, these shamrock cookies<\/strong> are certainly festive by paying homage to the patron saint of Ireland. While I usually bake a batch of Guinness brownies<\/a> on March 17th, I thought sugar cookies would be really fun this year because my oldest loves to decorate them. (Disclaimer\u2014I did pipe buttercream on the pictured sugar cookies myself even though if you look closely, sprinkles are covering some ugly spots… not a pro over here!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
