Christmas already?! No? That’s okay, too! You don’t really need any particular season to celebrate and recreate my fun little Crinkle Grinch Cookies! These cookies tasted even better while watching the Grinch with my family during this holiday season! Christmas movies our my favourite and each year we spend time watching all the classics! These tasty Crinkle Grinch Cookies will make any movie night sweeter!
These Grinch cookies taste like heaven! They have a nice soft cake-like texture and they don’t really need to be Grinch green. You could make them any colour that you want. The cute little heart on the top is the perfect embellishment. I think these are the cookies that I am going to leave out for Santa this year! ❤
These parchment sheets are perfect for baking cookies. They make clean up easy and no burning!

These Crinkle Grinch Cookies would be the perfect treat for the grumpy person in your life. Who could stay grumpy after seeing these cookies? I bet their heart will grow three sizes!
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more!
Fun fact about the original Dr. Suess’s The Grinch is that when the book was first published, the Grinch was black and white with pink eyes!! It wasn’t until the book was made into animation in 1996 that the director decided to make the iconic Grinch green!!
