Instructions:

4. Once you’ve formed the shamrocks, use a small piece of dough to create a stem for each one. Simply roll a small portion of dough between your hands to form a thin rope-like shape, and attach it to the bottom of each shamrock.
5. Bake the cinnamon rolls according to the instructions on the package, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
6. While the cinnamon rolls are baking, prepare the icing by combining the provided icing packet with a few drops of green food coloring. Mix until the desired shade of green is achieved.
7. Once the cinnamon rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
8. Drizzle the green icing over the warm cinnamon rolls, ensuring that each shamrock is evenly coated.
9. For an extra festive touch, sprinkle green shimmer sprinkles over the icing to add a hint of sparkle and shine.
10. Serve your shamrock shaped cinnamon rolls warm and enjoy the festive treat with your loved ones!
