Grinch Crinkle Cookies

Earlier today, I posted about our 25 days of Christmas and how last year we made these Grinch Crinkle Cookies:

I found a recipe on http://tastykitchen.com and modified it slightly for our liking (and what we already had). 

INGREDIENTS: 

6 Tablespoons Butter

1 cup Powdered Sugar

1 teaspoon Cornstarch

1 box of cake mix (we used white, the recipe called for French Vanilla originally)

2 Eggs

1 bottle of green food coloring

PREPARATION: 

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Melt the butter and set aside to cool. 

In a shallow bowl, mix the powdered sugar and cornstarch with a fork. 

In a large bowl, mix the cooled butter, cake mix and eggs. It will be a little tough to stir together. Add the green food coloring and make sure it is all mixed in. 

(we added a step of let the child lick the beaters once mixed)

Take two spoons and drop a blob of the dough into the powdered sugar mixture. 

Move it around with a spoon until it is mostly covered in the powdered mixture. 

Once it is coated, roll into a ball and place it on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. 

Bake for about 9 minutes. Take out of the oven and cool on the pan for one minute, then move to a cooling rack. 

Then take a picture with your best grinch face and enjoy your cookies. 

 These were really soft, moist cookies as they were made with cake mix rather than traditional cookie mixes. They were a big hit in our family and were gone quickly!
