Leprechaun Turds

For St Patrick's Day, I made a lovely batch of almond cookies, or as I like to call them, Leprechaun turds. This recipe was give to me by the brownie that lives in our house. Brownies can be very helpful in the kitchen.

Ingredients :
-3/4 cup of powdered sugar
-1/4 cup of brown sugar
-6 tablespoons of butter
-1 1/2 cups of flour
-2 eggs
-1 teaspoon of almond extract
-1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
-1/4 cup of shaved almonds
-10 drops of green food coloring
-orange sprinkles

Preheat the oven at 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine the sugars, butter, and both extracts using a mixer on medium speed. Gradually add the flour, eggs, and almond shavings. Once the dough is complete, have fun and add the food coloring.

Place the green cookie dough on a cookie sheet, using parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes. When the cookies are done, let them cool on parchment paper while adding the orange sprinkles.
