Christmas Grinch Cookies – another version of cake mix cookies! Turn them green and add a heart to make them look like the “Grinch.”
Hey guys! I am so happy to be a part of Jamielyn’s Crazy Christmas Event today! Jamielyn always has such great recipes and ideas and I have loved her blog for a long time.
I’m Mandy from Mandy’s Recipe Box where I share simple and delicious recipes that can mostly be made with ingredients you already have on hand.
Christmas cookies are the best out there if you ask me. I love when neighbors bring goody plates around the holidays. It’s always fun to see what treats will be shared. I made these cake mix cookies with The Grinch in mind. Adding the heart is the perfect touch. Be sure to try them out. They are soft and chewy with that cake flavor everyone loves. Share them with your favorite people!
