Ingredients

4 sticks butter (500 mL)
1 pkg (15.25-16.5 oz or 461 g) white cake mix
2 3/4 cups (675 mL) flour
white store-bought frosting
green food coloring
green sugar crystals

Directions

Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). In Classic Batter Bowl, microwave 2 sticks of the butter, uncovered, on HIGH 2-3 minutes or until melted. Slice remaining butter into small pieces; add to melted butter. Let stand 3-5 minutes or until softened.
In large mixing bowl, whisk cake mix and flour; blend well.
Whisk butter until very smooth. Pour butter (and egg for gluten-free version) into dry ingredients; mix to form a smooth dough. Divide dough into 3 portions. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes (do not refrigerate overnight.)
Generously flour Pastry Mat. Remove one portion of dough; roll out evenly to 1/8-in. (3-mm) thickness, adding additional flour as needed.
Cut dough with a (2 1/2"/6 cm) biscuit cutter; place in 1 in. (2.5 cm) apart on Cookie Sheet (metal or Stoneware). Repeat with remaining dough. Cut out the remaining dough with a small shamrock shaped cookie cutter (1 ½" (4 cm)).
Bake 10-12 minutes (15-17 minutes for Stoneware) or until very light golden brown. Remove from oven; cool 3 minutes on Cookie Sheet. Remove to Stackable Cooling Rack to cool completely.
Tint white store-bought frosting your favorite shade of green and frost the circle cookies. Sprinkle green sugar on the shamrocks and layer them as shown.
