Ingredients
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- green gel food coloring
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 18 large red heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degree F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until everything is fully incorporated.
- Add a few drops of green food coloring to the dough and mix well, adjusting the amount until you reach a Grinchy shade of green.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and roll each ball in powdered sugar, ensuring each ball is fully coated.
- Place the powdered dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and crinkled on top.
- While the cookies are still warm, gently press a red heart sprinkle onto the top of each cookie.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
- The cookies can be frozen in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to three months. Place a piece of parchment paper between the layers to prevent the cookies from sticking together.
