The Grinch is a mean one. He doesn’t like Christmas nor does he like cookies. And that is ENTIRELY OKAY. Because, that means more cookies for you and me! SCORE!
In all seriousness, if you love The Grinch movie as much as I do, you are going to love these cookies!
These Grinch crinkle cookies are so easy to make and are quite tasty! My kids can’t seem to get enough of them!
Grinch Cookies
Grinch Cookie Ingredients:
- Vanilla Cake Mix
- Unsalted Butter, softened
- Canola Oil
- 2 Eggs, Room Temperature
- Powdered Sugar
- Corn Starch
- Green Gel Food Coloring
- Parchment Paper
- Red Heart Sprinkles
Cookie Directions:
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Add powdered sugar and corn starch together in a loaf pan. Mix well.
Mix the butter, cake mix, oil and eggs together (the batter will be thick).
Stir green food coloring to get the perfect Grinch green color (I used about 3 drops).
Using a small ice cream scoop get a chunk of dough then roll it into the powdered sugar/corn starch mixture.
Pick up the dough and roll into a ball and place on cookie sheet.
Place the cookie balls 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until they puff up.
Cool on the cookie sheet for several minutes then transfer to a wire rack to completely cool.
Once the cookies have cooled, mix a tablespoon of powdered sugar and a teaspoon or so of water, to make a tiny bowl of sugar glue to stick the heart sprinkles onto the top. You can also gently push the heart onto the dough before it gets baked.
You can serve and enjoy right away or store in an airtight container for future consumption!
