Equipment
- Baking Sheets
- Parchment Paper
- Mixing Bowl
- Cookie Scoop
- Wire Rack
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix 15.25-ounce
- 1/2 cup light vegetable or canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- A few drops vibrant green gel food coloring
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 18 large red heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Get Ready to Bake! Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and no-stick baking.
- Mix Your Magic Dough: In a spacious bowl, combine your yellow cake mix, light vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until everything is just mixed together and smooth. Don't overmix!
- Go Green! Add a few drops of that bright green gel food coloring to the dough. Mix gently until you achieve that perfect Grinchy shade of green – vibrant and fun!
- Sugar Coat 'Em: Grab a medium cookie scoop (or use a spoon!) and form small dough balls. Roll each one generously in powdered sugar, making sure they're completely coated for that beautiful crinkle effect.
- Bake to Perfection: Place your sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set and the tops have those lovely crinkles.
- Add a Little Heart: As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, while they're still warm and soft, gently press a red heart sprinkle onto the center of each cookie. This helps them stick perfectly!
- Cool Down & Enjoy: Let your cheerful cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. Then, get ready to share your delightful, easy-to-make treats!
