   Press and Cut Shapes

   Press the mixture evenly into a 9x13 inch baking pan that has been greased or lined with parchment paper. You want an even layer across the bottom of the pan.

   While the mixture is still warm, use the 4 leaf clover cookie cutter to cut out individual shapes. Gather any scraps and re-press them to cut more shapes until all the mixture is used.
