Grinch Cake Mix Cookie Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil to a large bowl and stir well.
Add equal amounts of green and yellow food coloring to get your desired “Grinch” color. I used 4 drops of each.
Using a cookie scoop, drop scoops of dough onto a baking sheet, 1-2 inches apart.
Bake for 9 minutes. Remove from the oven, and set the baking sheet on a wire cooling rack for one minute.
Remove cookies from the baking sheet, onto the wire cooling rack. Allow cookies to cool completely.
Frosting Directions:
Mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl.
Add 2 drops each of green and yellow food coloring. Stir well.
Check the consistency. It should be just perfect – not too runny, and not too thick.
Spread icing on the cookies.
Place a heart in the center of the cookies.
Enjoy with a glass of milk!
