I had so many people asking for that cookie recipe I posted on instagram a little bit ago that I decided to post it her for you all! My mom usually makes these cookies for St. Patricks day and they usually get devoured! These are probably Jake's favorite cookies! We let Evelyn help us make them and her favorite part, (besides sneaking cookie dough) was making thumbprints in the cookies! Here is the recipe!
