Really, does it get any cuter than this? St. Patrick’s Day just got sweeter with these Pot O’ Gold Cookies from The Sweet Adventures of Sugar Belle! We are thrilled that we can share the tutorial with you so you can make these cuties to celebrate the LUCKY day too!

YOU WILL NEED:

– 3-4 inch round cookie cutter
– mini flower cutter, mashed into a cloud shape {from craft store like Hobby Lobby}
– mini cauldron cutter {another Hobby Lobby find, but if you don’t have one, a plain circle or Easter egg mini will work}

Step 1: Cut out a round cookie
Step 2: Use your mini cutters to cut out a space to insert the cloud and the pot of gold
Step 3: cut out a mini cloud and pot and piece them into the cut circle and bake

Follow the steps below to decorate your sweet cookies.

The next step is to set-up your cookie by outlining each section.

When it’s time to flood the cookies, you cannot do it all at once.  If you do, it will all run together and become a big sloppy mess.  You have to fill alternating sections, let them dry, then come back and fill the rest.

Now, you can add the details.  The cookie doesn’t have to be completely dry for this, just be careful not to touch it with the tip as you pipe. The cookies from Sweet Sugar Belle have swirls and the pot for gold! At this point the cookie has to dry, preferably overnight. The next morning, or at least 6-8 hrs later, it’s time to put the gold in the pot. To do this, use thick-ish gold colored icing and put it on the cookie in a way that makes it look like it’s spilling out of the pot.  If it’s a little lumpy, it’s no big deal because the sugar will cover it. Immediately afterward, pour course gold sanding sugar onto the wet icing. Leave it this way and let it dry for another few hours.

When the cookie is completely dry, shake off the excess sugar, using a little paint brush if you need to, and you will be left with this, an adorable and unique St. Patrick’s Day cookie!
