St. Patty's cookies...fail:(

So I was going to play Betty Crocker this week and make some very festive cookies for Eric to take into work for St. Patrick's day tomorrow. Well, let's just say, they aren't as festive as I was hoping for. I was all excited about it too, so I took pictures along the way to document how to make them.

So let's pretend they turned out and this is what the blog would have looked like...

Start by making sugar cookies using a bag of Betty Crocker cookie mix. When the cookies comes out of the oven immediately put a marshmallow on top and let cool completely.

Next heat icing and stir in green food coloring. Spoon the frosting over each "hat".

This is where everything went wrong. My frosting was either too hot or too cold and would not just spoon over the hat. So this is how they turned out.So not exactly picture perfect, but they still taste good so I decided to decorate them like they called for in the recipe. I added a little chocolate ribbon around the hat and a yellow M&M for the buckle. Here is the finished product.
And here is what they were supposed to look like...Not exactly alike, but oh well. It was my first attempt at this. Oh yeah and for anyone out there wanting to try these for yourself here is the link to the recipe St. Patty's Day Cookies

Enjoy!!
