When it comes to Mickey’s wardrobe, red is the color of choice any day of the week — save one! Come Saint Patrick’s Day, even the Mouse will be wearing green. Decorated with white chocolate shamrock buttons, these festive cookies are a perfect fit for a holiday party or classroom treat.

You’ll need:

• Template for Mickey’s Shamrock Shorts Cookies
• Scissors
• Batch of sugar cookie dough (homemade or store bought)*
• Rolling pin
• Flour
• Wax paper
• Kitchen knife
• Baking sheets
• Cooling rack
• Green cookie icing (the kind that hardens when it sets up)
• White chocolate chips
• Small microwavable mixing bowl

* Note: If the store-bought brand of dough you use is too soft to hold the cookie shapes while baking, you can knead in a little extra flour to stiffen it before rolling it out.
