Grinch Crinkle Cookies

ince The Grinch that Stole Christmas is one of our favorite holiday movies I decided to make yet another Grinch treat! Today we are making Grinch Crinkle Cookies. They are so so simple to make and the kids have a ton of fun making them with me too.

Grinch Crinkle CookiesTo make a batch of Grinch Crinkle Cookie you will need the following –

1 Box of French Vanilla Cake Mix
4 tbsp Butter, room temp
2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
2 Eggs
Green Food Coloring
1/3 C Powdered Sugar
1/3 C Cornstarch
Red Candy Hearts
1/4 C Powdered Sugar
1 tbsp Milk
Sandwich bag or piping bag
In a large mixing bowl, pour the cake mix and get out any lumps with a whisk.

Next, add the butter, eggs, and vegetable oil to the cake mix. Mix until it is well combined.

Pour a few drops of the green food coloring into the bowl. I used gel food coloring and it really had to be worked into the cookie dough. Go a few shades darker than you want because these cookies will lighten in color while baking.

Place the bowl of dough in the fridge for about 15 minutes.

While the dough is chilling preheat the oven to 375F.

In a small bowl combine 1/3C of powdered sugar and the cornstarch. Use a small whisk to combine them.

Once the cookie dough has chilled, remove it from the fridge and make 1 inch balls. I used a medium cookie scoop to make the balls.

Then roll the ball of dough in the powdered sugar and cornstarch mixture.

Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Grinch Crinkle CookiesBake for 8-10 minutes on the middle rack in the oven.

Let cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes then move to a cooling rack.

While the cookies are baking be sure to put the dough back in the fridge until you are ready to make the next sheet full.

Once the cookies have cooled completely it’s time to glue the hearts on the cookies.

Grinch Crinkle CookiesIn a small bowl combine 1/4 C powdered sugar and the milk. Whisk it together until it’s a thicker glue-like consistency. Place it in a sandwich bag and snip the corner. Squeeze a little bit of the mixture onto the cookie and then place the red heart on the mixture. This sugar milk mixture will help hold the heart in place.

Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
