These gold Irish butter and oats sandwich cookies from Love and Cupcakes are a festive St. Patrick's Day treat everyone will love.  Fresh oatmeal cookies are painted with chocolate and then sandwiched with a sweet Irish cream and butter filling.  Edible gold spray gives these cookies their sheen and can be purchased online or in kitchenware stores.  The key to making these cookies truly Irish is using pure Irish butter.  Irish butter has a higher butterfat content than American butter which creates a richer and creamier filling.   Gold Irish butter and oats sandwich cookies will tempt any leprechaun.
