So, it turns out that St. Patrick’s day is not a traditional cookie holiday.

I don’t know why I thought it was. Anyway, I’ve had cookies on the brain since last weekend, when I intended to bake some cookies. I ended up being busy with other things, so I didn’t get around to it, but I still wanted to make some St. Patty cookies. I made some time today and looked through the 100 cookie cutters that my brother got me for Christmas last year, only to find that there were no shamrocks or leprachaun hats or anything. That surprised me because if I were to try and name 100 shapes that I might find for cookie cutters, I don’t think I would have named half the shapes in the bucket. But I would have picked St. Patrick’s day out as a holiday that has recognizeable shapes. It’d be like Christmas trees, hearts, shamrocks, George Washington’s head, an Arbor Day tree, ghosts, and turkeys. Yes, these are defining holidays for me.

Today’s project: Green dinosaur and foot cookies. A traditional St. Patrick’s Day treat!
