Shamrock Candies
These candies have a consistency similar to the small mint candies
often served at weddings and baby showers, but have a very
different taste. To make these candies gather these items.
What
you will need:
¼ cup softened butter
4 ounces cream cheese softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ½ cups confectioners or powdered sugar
2 cups coconut
Shamrock shaped cookie cutter
Green sugar sprinkles
Cookie sheet
Wax Paper
Mixer
Large Bowl
Wooden spoon
Rolling pin
Directions:
1. Beat the butter and cream cheese until creamy.
2. Add the vanilla extract and half of the confectioner's sugar and
beat until mixed.
3. Add the rest of the confectioner's sugar and the coconut and mix
together with the spoon until it has a uniform consistency.
4. Roll the mixture out with a rolling pin and use the cookie
cutter to cut out the candies. Or you can roll the mixture into
balls and create three leaf clover shapes by pressing three balls
together and adding a stem.
5. Put green sprinkles on each one quickly after making them, and
press the sprinkles in a bit.
6. Leave the candies in the fridge for about 2-3 hours to let them
dry and harden.
