St Patrick's Day Leprechaun Hat Cookie

Leprechaun Hat Treats!

Materials:

**Black frosting or decorating icing

**homemade cookies, dyed green

**Gold coins, chocolate

**Green (Easter bag) Reese's PB cups, mini

**Yellow dot sprinkle 

**Gold crystal sprinkles, optional

Sitting on a cotton-candy cloud, having just discovered a pile of gold, the lucky Leprechaun leaves his hat behind. Ah, that would be the life. 

Assembly:

First, make cookies (recipe to come later). Dye them green before baking. Shape into half dollar sized balls. They spread a lot. Roll cookies in gold glitter crystals. Bake. Once cooled,  simply glue, with the icing, the coin to the cookie. Then glue the candy to the coin. Then line the Reese's with black icing and finish off with a gold dot!

And serve in a little green pot or basket or pail thingy on top of more cotton candy clouds.

Rainbow Leprechaun Pancakes

Alternative to green eggs and ham for St Patty's breakfast? How about leprechaun sized pancakes? Make them rainbow colored for extra enjoyment!

Here is a quarter to give you perspective with how big, or small these little guys are.

Sadly, the purple ones got eaten before I could save them for the photo shoot :)

I didn't think about serving these little pancakes on the play dishes until it was too late. But that would have been fun too, though I really would have had to make them silver dollar sized. Serve with syrup and sprinkle some green sugar crystals on top for the final touch!

Grandma's Thin Pancakes:

My Grandma calls this recipe "Crepes" but they're not exactly crepes. They are similar to crepes but these are thicker. So we make them the size of pancakes (so smaller than crepes) but they turn out like really think pancakes (but thicker than crepes).

Add all ingredients, except flour, to a blender. Mix. Then gradually add flour.
2 cups milk
1 cup (or up to) water
4 eggs
2 Tbs oil
1 Tbs sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour

Pour in frying pan or griddle to desired size. Cook four a couple minutes until slightly browned. Flip. Cook until reverse side is slightly brown. Serve with syrup, powdered sugar, fruit, whatever! Eat like pancakes (not rolled up like crepes).
