"Bring a touch of the Emerald Isle to your home with these dazzling Shamrock Sugar Cookies, decorated with green-tinted icing."



2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon McCormick Ground Nutmeg
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract
Shamrock Icing (recipe follows)

Mix flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and nutmeg. Set aside.

Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually stir in flour mixture until well mixed. Refrigerate dough about 1 hour or until firm.

WHEN READY TO BAKE:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Roll out dough on lightly floured surface* to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out dough with shamrock cookie cutter. Place on greased baking sheets.

To decorate cookies, hold cookie by its edge and dip top of cookie into icing. (Or spoon the icing onto cookie using a teaspoon.) Place glazed cookies on wire rack set over foil-covered baking sheet to dry.
