Ingredients
Scale
- 1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold whole milk
- 3–6 drops green gel food coloring
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 tbsp shamrock sprinkles or green sanding sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Divide the sugar cookie dough into 12 equal portions and roll them into balls.
- Place each dough ball into a muffin cup and press evenly along the bottom and up the sides to form a cup shape.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
