      Yield: 15 servings
 
  1 1/2 c  Butter; softened
  1 1/2 c  Sugar
      2    Eggs
      3 ts Vanilla extract
      4 c  A-P flour
      1 ts Baking soda
      1 ts Cream of tartar
      1 ts Salt
      3 c  (to 4 c) Royal Icing

  In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and
  fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each
  addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking
  soda, cream of tartar and salt; gradually add to the
  creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or
  until easy to handle.
  
  Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
  
  On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4"
  thickness. For leprechauns, cut out dough with lightly
  floured 5" gingerbread boy cookie cutter. If desired,
  trim leprechaun's body for a thinner shape.
  
  For each hat, cut a 1 1/4" square and a 1 3/4" X 1/4"
  brim from dough scraps. Place leprechauns 2" apart on
  ungreased baking sheets. Place hat squares and brims
  above heads, shaping gently to touch the heads.
  
  Bake 10-14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
  Cool 1 minute before carefully removing to wire racks to
  cool completely.
  
  Tint small amounts of Royal Icing pink, skin tone and
  black. Leave a small amount plain (white). Tint
  remaining icing Kelly green, leaf green green and
  orange. Frost leprechauns; if desired, decorate using
  shamrock sprinkles on hat and gold sprinkles as buttons,
  use edible marker to draw freckles.
