grinch cookies recipe

These Grinch cookies are yummy green sugar cookies stuffed with rich milk chocolate and candy hearts on top.

The Grinch Cookies

Hershey’s kisses, (unwrapped)

Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix

all-purpose flour

unsalted butter, (room temperature)

heart candy sprinkles

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with baker’s spray, or line with paper cups, and set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together, with a fork, the egg and green gel food coloring until the food coloring is thoroughly combined with the beaten egg.

In a large mixing bowl, with a handheld mixer on low speed, combine the Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix, all-purpose flour, unsalted butter and egg mixture for 2 to 3 minutes or until thoroughly combined. Your dough will be very thick.

Using a 1 ½ tablespoon (1½-inch ) cookie scoop, scoop out a ball of dough and flatten it into a 3-inch disc in your hand. Place a Hershey’s Kiss into the center and carefully pull the sides up to cover the candy and shape it into a ball. Make sure to keep your Hershey’s kiss candy upright when placed into the mini muffin tin to be baked.

Place the dough balls into the muffin tin making sure that the Hershey’s kiss is still in the upright position and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Do not let your dough start to get brown. You just want to make sure the center is not raw.

When your Grinch stuffed cookie cups come out of the oven, place 1 heart sprinkle, offset to the right from the center, onto your cookie cup and let them cool in the mini muffin tin for at least 10 minutes before removing them to cool completely on a wire rack.

Grinch Cookies

Perfect for the holidays, these Grinch Cookies are wonderfully cakey with crispy bottoms. They&#039;re so easy to make without cake mix.

all-purpose flour ((300 grams))

sugar ((300 grams))

baking powder

salt

unsalted butter

eggs

vanilla extract

green gel food coloring

cornstarch ((56 grams))

red heart-shaped sprinkles or cinnamon candies

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 cups of powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Cut the butter into tablespoons and drop the pieces into the flour mixture. Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Add 2 drops of food coloring if desired, and beat until well incorporated, making sure there are no white streaks in the dough.

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and the remaining ½ cup of powdered sugar.

Scoop the dough into 1½ tablespoon-sized balls. Roll each between the palms of your hands to form a ball, then roll in the cornstarch mixture until well coated. Place each ball about  3 inches apart, on prepared baking sheets and slightly press down on the tops.

Bake for 12 minutes or until the cookies start to crinkle and are lightly browned on the bottoms. Remove from the oven and immediately press a heart-shaped sprinkle or candy on each cookie. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Easy Grinch Cookies

Grinch cookies are an adorable holiday cookie recipe inspired by the classic Dr. Seuss character. These are soft-baked green sugar cookies flavored with peppermint, garnished with a heart that's two sizes too small!

(226 grams) unsalted butter,

1½ cups (285 grams) granulated sugar

teaspoon (5 milliliters) pure vanilla extract

½ teaspoon peppermint extract (optional)

cups (420 grams) all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon cream of tartar

½ teaspoon salt

Additional 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Electric Green Gel Color

Heart-shaped sprinkles

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Combine the butter with the sugar and beat on medium speed until well creamed together.

Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and green gel coloring. Mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients. Slowly add into the dough and beat on medium-low speed until well combined and dough forms.

Use a large cookie scoop and portion the dough. Roll each ball of dough in granulated sugar and then place each one about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.

Bake at 350° F for 12-15 minutes. Immediately when pulled from the oven, place a heart-shaped sprinkle on top.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Authentically pleasing cookies that psy homage to the Grinch. Not your average Christmas cookie! My daughters loved helping and eating. I added 3 hearts to some since his heart grew 3 sizes that day.

These cookies look as good as they taste! We used red M&amp;Ms for the hearts. My son had so much fun making and eating them. He can’t get enough!

These cookies are so delish! 
I had an issue with the cookies not “flattening out” like your pics. Any suggestions?

My kids loved making these! A creatively fun cookie that tastes delicious.  Thank you for sharing.

These were so good! Made them both with peppermint and with just vanilla no peppermint. These were a great hit with the grandkids.

Made these as I am a huge Grinch fan! They were the perfect sugar cookie, super soft and the perfect amount of peppermint flavoring. They were gone in minutes!
Already looking at more of your recipes!!!

Amazing! I made these today and they turned out perfect. I made mine with almond extract instead of peppermint, and I used a smaller scoop. I got 36 cookies when I made them a heaping tablespoon size (maybe 1.5-2 table spoons). Perfectly cooked at 11 minutes. 

I used the same hearts that she links in the recipe. &lt;3

Delish. Made them last week for a family Christmas party. They were a hit.  Busy making another batch for Christmas festivities. . Some hearts fell off but not many.

Hi, I made these Grinch Cookies for everyone over Christmas and they were a big hit thank you.  Will be a regular from now on.

I made these for my holiday plates and these are hands down the best sugar cookies I’ve ever made! This recipe will be going in my yearly holiday baking routine. Thanks :)

These were not only the cutest cookies at the exchange, they were the best tasting!! I used almond extract instead of peppermint (personal preference) and felt like taking all of my own cookies back!!

I'm not usually a huge fan of sugar cookies but I wanted to make something festive for my kids. I tried it and WOW...I was addicted. I couldn't get enough. Now I'm using the same recipe for every holiday and I'm actually using it to make valentines day cookies this year. Best sugar cookies I've ever had, hands down

These vibrant green Grinch cookies with a red candy heart, will bring a whimsical touch to your holiday baking and delight any Dr. Seuss fan out there.

sugar

unsalted butter (softened to 65 to 67ºF (18 to 20ºC))

brown sugar (packed)

heart candies (or sprinkles)

Preheat the Oven – Set the rack to the middle position. Preheat to 350ºF (177ºC). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Mix the Dry Ingredients – In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ½ cup of powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Cream the Butter and Sugar – In a stand mixer or hand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, ¾ cup of granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix on medium speed (setting 5) until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and paddle.

Add the Eggs – Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on medium-low speed (setting 4), for about 30 seconds each. Mix in the vanilla for 15 seconds.

Add the Color – Mix in enough food coloring until a bright green color is achieved. I use 8 to 10 drops of gel coloring.

Make the Dough – Gradually add the flour mixture in four additions. Mix on low speed until just combined. Let the dough sit for 10 minutes to thicken. It should feel like modeling clay.

Coat and Roll the Dough – Add ½ cup granulated sugar into a shallow dish. Add ½ cup powdered sugar into a separate shallow dish. Portion out 1 ½ tablespoons (1 ounce, 30 grams) of dough, then roll into a ball. Roll each ball in granulated sugar then transfer to the powdered sugar bowl and roll to coat. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Flatten the Dough – Evenly space the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, at least 2 inches apart. About 12 cookies per sheet pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to flatten each ball into a 2-inch wide disc, about ½ inch thick.

Bake – Bake one sheet at a time until puffed in the center and the edges set, about 12 to 14 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through.

Add the Hearts – Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press one heart into the surface. I like to place them off-center to the right.

Cool – Leave the cookies on the sheet pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. Cool completely before serving.

How to Make Festive Grinch Cookies!

Easy bright green Grinch cookies made with boxed cake mix! These cookies are soft and gooey, and decorated with tiny heart-shaped sprinkles, and powdered sugar. The kids can help you make these fun cookies!

cornstarch ((Cornflour in the UK and Australia))

canola oil (or vegetable oil)

eggs (at room temperature)

box cake mix

green food coloring

heart shaped sprinkles (or candy melts)

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.

In a medium sized bowl, combine powdered sugar with corn starch and set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine butter with oil and eggs. Using a hand mixer, beat until well combined (30 seconds).

Add the cake mix, and mix until combined. The batter will be thick.

Add green food coloring, and mix again. I used Wilton green leaf gel coloring. Add enough to reach the desired shade.

Using a small cookie scoop, scoop dough balls directly into the powdered sugar and corn starch mixture. The dough balls will be very soft. Gently roll in the mixture and transfer to the cookie sheets.

Bake - rotating the cookie sheet halfway through - for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies have puffed up. If you cook for too long, the edges will brown and change color so avoid that from happening.

Remove from the oven. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

To decorate with hearts, use 1 tablespoon of the leftover corn starch and powdered sugar and mix with 1 tablespoon of water. Use this as glue and attach the hearts. Or use icing.
