Chocolate Wintergreen Shamrock Cookies for St. Patrick’s Day

by Lora Wiley-Lennartz
She’s baaaack….with more crazy toothpaste flavored baked goods. This time instead of spearmint, I’m went with wintergreen, another one of my favorite flavors. Wintergreen lifesavers are my favorite. Ok maybe a little over the top for a buttercream flavor.

The verdict? Only one person who tasted them scraped off the buttercream before finishing the cookies. Everyone else loved them. Pinky swear.

For the chocolate cookies I used one of my favorite recipes from Meaghan over at the Decorated Cookie. The recipe is one she used for her witch leg cookies which I made a few Halloweens ago.

The filling was based on Deb’s oreo filling over at Smitten Kitchen. I just added a few drops of LorAnn’s wintergreen candy oil and green food coloring.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I would NEVER scrape off this buttercream! 🙂 The bright green looks so pretty against the chocolate!

whoever scraped off butter cream should be kicked out of your life, there is something wrong with them… that would be like pulling the cheese off your pizza…lol

I look forward to seeing what you will do next. My husband would gobble these up and so would Patrick.

I bet St. Patrick himself would be so pleased with these cookies! The green filling and flavor seems stunning, I would it this without scraping any of it off 🙂
