Angel Kirkbride’s Grinch Cookies Recipe to Steal your Heart

For the cookies:

• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Green food coloring

For the decorations:

• Red heart-shaped sprinkles
• Small heart-shaped candies
• Candy eyes
• Red candy melts or icing

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well to combine.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
6. Add green food coloring to the dough until you achieve your desired Grinchy hue. Start with a few drops and adjust as needed.
7. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
8. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to create a round shape.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
10. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.

Decoration:

1. Melt the red candy melts or use red icing to create the Grinch’s mischievous smile on each cookie.
2. Immediately place a candy eye on each cookie, slightly off-center to add a playful touch.
3. Add a red heart-shaped sprinkle at the bottom of each cookie to represent the Grinch’s heart growing three sizes.
4. For an extra touch, scatter small heart-shaped candies around the cookies to mimic the joyful spirit of Whoville.
5. Allow the decorations to set before serving or packaging your Grinch cookies.
