Grinch Cookies (With Cake Mix!)

Print Recipe

Soft and chewy green crinkle cookies made with a box of cake mix, perfect for holiday treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box French vanilla cake mix (dry mix only)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • Green food coloring (about 5 drops gel food coloring)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Red heart sprinkles (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed until combined.
  2. Add green food coloring one drop at a time until desired shade is reached, mix on low until just combined.
  3. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to make it easier to scoop.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and cornstarch.
  5. Scoop 1-2 tablespoon size dough balls and roll them in the powdered sugar and cornstarch mixture until fully coated.
  6. Place coated dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
  7. Bake at 375°F for 8-10 minutes until the center is just set and cookies have not browned on top.
  8. While still warm, press a red heart sprinkle onto each cookie.
  9. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

Chilling the dough helps with easier handling and better cookie shape. The cookies should be soft and chewy with a festive green color. Adding the heart sprinkle while warm helps it stick well.
