Easy Cake Mix Grinch Cookies have a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The cookies are soft and chewy, thanks to the cake mix base. The addition of green food coloring gives them a festive appearance, while the powdered sugar coating adds a sweet, powdered finish that contrasts nicely with the soft cookie texture.
The little heart sprinkle doesn’t do too much but so cute for presentation!. These cookies are not only visually appealing but also deliver a deliciously sweet treat that both kids and adults will enjoy!
HOW LONG DOES IT KEEP FOR?
Easy Cake Mix Grinch Cookies can last for about 3 to 5 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, you can freeze them, and they’ll keep well for up to 2 to 3 months. Just make sure to thaw them at room temperature before enjoying!
INSPIRATIONS FOR THIS RECIPE?
I was brainstorming some ideas for Christmas ideas from Pinterest and saw so many variations of Grinch cookies! I knew I had to make a super easy cake mix version for people like me who loves to be festive but doesn’t have the time to go all out and put all my effort into something!
I love how cute and simple these cake mix cookies are and the best snack for watching The Grinch on a cozy winter evening!
ANY OTHER NOTES?
Yes! So, sprinkles and chocolates CAN of course melt so I would test a sprinkle in the oven first to see if it melts before putting all your sprinkles on the raw dough then baking. If your sprinkles or chocolate melt or get deformed, you can just add it on top once the cookies are done baking or you can plop them on a few minutes before the cookie is done baking!
