St. Patricks Day Cookies | PassionHoney Buttercream Frosting

A friend of mine absolutely loves to make cookies and collect cookie cutters. I text her the other day asking her if she had any St. Patricks Day cookie cutters....Yep. So she made these amazing sugar cookies and brought them to me so we could frost them. This recipe is slighty adapted from Tasty Kitchen's frosting recipe.

Make your favorite sugar cookie recipe and then follow these instructions for the buttercream frosting.

What you need:

½ cups Unsalted Butter, At Room Temperature

4 Tablespoons PassionHoney

2 cups Powdered Sugar

1 Tablespoon Heavy Cream

 Green Coloring

How you do it:

In a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, cream together butter and honey for 2 minutes.

Add 1 cup of the powdered sugar. Begin with mixer on low speed until sugar is incorporated, then increase speed to medium and beat until smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.

Add another cup of powdered sugar, again mixing on low speed to incorporate.

Add heavy cream at low speed. Mix on medium speed about 2 minutes until mixture is smooth. Put in a few drops of coloring to get the desired green color you want. Add more, if you want it darker.

You may need to add additional powdered sugar as needed for desired consistency.


Hope you enjoy!
