St Patrick's Day Cookies - Shortbread with Dark Chocolate Irish Cream Ganache


St Patrick's Day Cookies


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!
