Grinch Sugar Cookie Ingredients

The ingredients are pretty standard for sugar cookie recipes, we’re simply adding green food coloring to the mix.

Here’s everything you need for a basic sugar cookie dough (there’s a printable recipe card at the bottom of this post):

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup melted butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• Green Gel Food Coloring
• Heart Sprinkles

 

Directions

These Grinch sugar cookies are quick and easy to make, and the heart candy on top makes them super cute.

Here’s the easy recipe:

Step 1: In a large bowl mix the dry ingredients: add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and mix together well. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix.

Step 2: Melt butter in the microwave. Then let cool for 2 minutes.

Step 3: Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, mix in the melted butter, eggs and vanilla with the dry ingredients until smooth.

Step 4: Add 4-5 drops of food coloring into the mixing bowl and stir the cookie dough until the vibrant color is even.

Tip: Start with less drops of green food coloring and slowly add more until you get the right color.

Step 5: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 6: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7: Roll the dough into tablespoon sized balls.

Step 8: Place on the cookie sheet and then slightly flatten with a spoon.

Step 9: Bake cookies for 7-10 minutes (ovens vary), or until the edges are beginning to set. The center should still be puffy and soft and slightly under baked.

Step 10: Remove from the oven and place a red candy heart sprinkle in the center of each cookie before they cool.

Step 11: Place cookies on a wire rack to cool.
