Ingredients

Units Scale

Cookies:

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • Green gel food coloring
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
  • Red heart sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Add Coloring: Add green gel food coloring a few drops at a time until the desired Grinch-like shade is reached.
  4. Form Cookies: Scoop 1-tablespoon portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar until well coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  5. Add Sprinkles: Gently press a red heart sprinkle onto the center of each cookie.
  6. Bake: Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are crinkled but still soft.
  7. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use gel food coloring for a vibrant green.
  • You can use heart-shaped candies instead of sprinkles for a more pronounced effect.
