     From first set of ingredients, beat Butter and Egg together, then blend in Monk Fruit, next add in Sour Cream, then add the remaining ingredients til fully incorporated.  Wrap in Saran Wrap and chill overnight in fridge.  Meanwhile, blend second set of ingredients, except for Sprinkles, chill in fridge.  When dough is ready, divide dough into 21~ 1oz portions, and return to fridge.  Using Shamrock cookie cutter, lay on silpat lined cookie sheet and press 1oz dough inside of cookie cutter, gently lift cookie cutter and repeat with remaining dough portions.  Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes depending on desired crispness for Cookies.  Remove, cool and frost each cookie with a thin layer of Frosting.  Add remaining Frosting to baggie, snip corner and pipe a trim around edge.  Garnish with Sprinkles if desired, not included in macros.  Enjoy  :)
