minty shamrock cookies

I'm not sure why St. Patrick's Day reads "green and minty baked goods" to me.

Maybe because mint is the only naturally green flavor I think I'd want in a cookie?

[OK, limes... but March is too chilly out for limes just yet]

mint chocolate chip cookies

This week's recipe is a simple variation on my chocolate chip cookie post. 

I love mint and chocolate together, so this seemed like a no-brainer. 

And of course, I had to add some green food coloring for St Patrick's Day! 

They might look a little funny, but they taste great!

irish car bomb brownie bites

I wanted to make something with an Irish kick for St. Patrick's Day. 

I understand that Irish Car Bombs are not really Irish...
but in my limited Americanized experience of the holiday,
the Irish Car Bomb is an essential element in the celebration of
St. Patrick's Day. (for those of legal drinking age, of course)
