We printed St. Patrick’s Day themed cookies, all made with 4 leaves to bring good luck. Here's how we created the print. We used our almond cookie dough for this print, but of course with Foodini you can use your own preferred recipe.

We designed our shape in PowerPoint, but you can use any software of your choice that allows you to create with shapes. Using the shape function, create the 4 leaf clover using the heart and square shape from the shape library. Format the shapes to use no fill, and thicken the solid line for the outline:

You can also use Foodini Clip Art for these shapes, but we wanted to add a bit more definition to the heart shape, so we created our own.

Duplicate the heart 3 times, and arrange the shapes together into the clover shape:

Group all 5 shapes to make it one shape, and save it as a picture. 

Using Foodini Creator, start a new dish, and import the image you created. Assign an ingredient - in this case cookie dough, using nozzle 15. Increase the number of layers that will print - we printed 3 layers per cookie. Resize the image and press print to see what the print lines look like. You may have to scale up or scale down your print until you are happy with the way the print lines look in print preview (e.g., no holes or gaps where there should be a print line, etc.)

We recommend first doing one print to see how it comes out before making multiple prints. That's because depending on your exact ingredient, your print may come out slightly different than expected versus what you see with print preview. Our raw cookie dough print looked like this:

When you are happy with the one print, copy (  ) the cookie to fit as many as you can on the plate. Keep sufficient space between prints if your cookie dough will expand (like ours.)
