Happy St. Patrick's Day! For every holiday, my office has a potluck lunch to celebrate. For St. Patrick's Day I wanted to try something new. My boss asked if somebody would make shortbread cookies so I volunteered. But of course I couldn't just make shortbread cookies, they needed to have something extra. Keeping with the spirit of St. Patrick's Day I decided to incorporate Irish Cream. After pondering my options for a few days I came up with shortbread cookies with a dark chocolate Irish Cream ganache. The buttery cookies and rich chocolate topping go beautifully together. I also discovered that they are good fresh but if you try them the next day they are amazing!
