    Hint: If the chocolate gets too thick, you can add a few drops of vegetable oil to thin it out.

    🥄 Variations

    I love that these are one of the easiest cookies. Here are a few fun twist ideas.

    • If you want to use these St. Patrick’s Day Oreos for other occasions, try different colors.
    • Try adding sprinkles for a festive look. Gold sanding sugar or green sugar sprinkles would be very cute on the shamrocks.
    • Add decorations such as shamrocks, stars, and hearts to the top of the chocolate-covered Oreos. You could even add edible glitter for a sparkly effect.
    • Flavored chocolate can add a twist to the Oreos.

    🍽️ What to Serve With These Festive Cookies

    • Irish Chicken and Dumplings Stew
    • Non Alcoholic St. Patrick’s Day Punch
    • Irish Flag Parfait – Fruit and Yogurt Parfait

    🍶 Storing

    Room Temperature Storage: These St. Patrick’s Day cookies do not need to be stored in the refrigerator unless it is very warm. These cookies will last for up to 2 weeks stored in an airtight container or freezer bag at room temperature.

    Refrigerator Storage: You can store these cookies in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks. Make sure they are sealed tightly, so they don’t absorb any odd flavors from your fridge.

    Freezer Storage: You can freeze these cookies for up to 3 months in an airtight container. When you are ready to eat them, allow them to thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

    💭Tip for Making the Perfect Good Luck Charm Cookies

    • Be sure to pull the Oreo out of the melted chocolate right away so it doesn’t get too soft and fall apart.
    • Have all your ingredients ready before you begin melting, as candy melts will harden quickly and you don’t want it to cool while you are working.
    • Don’t be afraid to add a bit more chocolate if needed.
    • Don’t forget to add decorations before the chocolate sets, otherwise, it won’t stick.

    ❔FAQs

    Is there a special type of chocolate needed?

    You can use any type of chocolate that melts on the shamrock-shaped cookies. You can find a variety of chocolates in the baking aisle at your local grocery store.

    Can I make these cookies without using molds?

    If you want the raised shamrock, you will need to use the mold. You can make something similar without using the molds. You can dip the cookies and create a shamrock on the top using royal icing and a piping bag.

    Can I use different types of cookies?

    Yes, you can use a variety of cookies to make these St Patrick’s Day Oreos using chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, rainbow chip cake mix cookies, or Nutter Butters. Just make sure they are the same size and shape as the Oreo cookie so that they fit in the mold.
