My kids really like the Lofthouse Cookie at the store, and this was the closest recipe I could find. This was the first recipe I made after my ACL surgery. Since I was downgraded to only one crutch, why not make cookies?

I know I can’t stay out of the kitchen sometimes and my kid were coming back from a week at my mom’s house. Lofthouse cookies have a distinct taste to them and they are a great frosted sugar cookies that can be made for any holiday or occasion by changing the sprinkles or frosting colors.

My kids always love these cookies because they are soft, tender and topped with super sweet buttercream and sprinkles. Basically a kid’s dream come true. 

I hope you enjoy these St. Patrick’s Day Cookies Copycat Lofthouse Cookie Recipe.
