These soft and buttery homemade Grinch Crinkle Cookies are easy green cookies rolled in sugar and topped with a sweet little red candy heart sprinkle. They are a fun Grinch themed dessert to add to your baking list this holiday season.

½ cups all purpose flour

baking powder

salt

white sugar

butter (softened)

vanilla extract

½ tsp peppermint extract

Green Food Coloring

White Sugar sugar

Preheat oven to 375° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix together.

In a separate large mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar and beat on medium speed with an electric mixer. (you can also use the bowl of a stand mixer)

Add the vanilla and peppermint extracts and eggs one at a time, blending after adding.

Then add in the dry ingredients gradually 1/2 cup at a time, blending after each addition until just barely incorporated. (careful not to overmix)

Add a few drops of food coloring and knead the dough to incorporate the color fully.

Place white sugar on a small plate or in a shallow bowl.

With a cookie scoop, scoop approximately tablespoon size scoops, roll into a ball and then roll in the white sugar (or powdered sugar) to coat thoroughly.

Place on lined baking sheet and press gently to flatten slightly.

Press a heart-shaped candy sprinkle into the center of each dough ball.

Bake for 8 minutes or until the bottoms are very slightly golden brown.

Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

These came out great! I made exactly as written EXCEPT I added the food coloring to the butter/sugar mixture to make it easier to incorporate and I had no issues. I will definitely make these again!
