Some St Patty’s Day Recipes

I just wanted to take a minute to share some of my favorite St Patty’s Day treats! I’m very excited about the holiday this year because Hubby and I will be participating in a huge Boston tradition this year. We’re going to the Southie parade. We have a friend who lives down there so we’ll have somewhere to hang out and the weather is supposed to be nice, so it’s going to be a great year to do this. I can’t wait. What is everyone else doing this weekend to celebrate?

Sugar Cookie Bars

Double Chocolate Brownie Roll Out Cookies

Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes

One Year Ago: Cranberry Apple Pie
Two Years Ago: Double Peanut Butter Cookies
Three Years Ago: Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Four Years Ago: Vegan Vanilla Raspberry Cupcakes

This has been a great hit this winter in “ski country” –easy to make with (pretty) easy ingredients to have on hand (once you buy the bag of sliced almonds, frozen cranberries, and almond extract!)
First time I made it as written. Delicious but very strong almond flavor. Second time I reduced the 1/2 c sugar on the cranberries to 1/4 cup, sub’d fine cornmeal for 1/2 the flour and reduced the almond extract by half. Pretty tart but almost all my friends liked it better (and if you want it sweeter you can add the whipped cream or ice cream…) and it is a nice counterpoint on a dessert buffet of sweeter brownies and cookies.

Thanks for the recipe! Hope you are doing well in Ohio.

  So glad you’ve enjoyed this. I loved how simple it was to make! Almond extract definitely has a strong flavor, so I can see cutting it down for sure! Ohio is treating us well so far.
