Grinch Cookies
These festive Grinch Cookies are a delightful twist on a classic treat. Made with a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth base, these cookies are colored a vibrant green and rolled in powdered sugar for a snowy finish.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar plus extra for rolling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon green food coloring
- ¼ cup confetti heart sprinkles
- ¼ cup optional chocolate chips
- ¼ cup optional walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and green food coloring until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in optional chocolate chips and walnuts if desired.
- Using your hands, shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will remain soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes before rolling them in powdered sugar. Next add a single red confetti heart to each one before allowing them to cool completely on a wire rack.
