Ingredients
- 21 ounce package of Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
- 1 egg
- 1 Tablespoon water
- ¼ cup sugar to roll cookies in - optional
- gel green food coloring
- 13 heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combine sugar cookie mix, softened butter, egg, and water together. Mix until crumbly.
- Once crumbly, add about 40 drops of green food dye (or until the color green of your preference).
- Mix well until the color is fully combined and creates a soft dough. I used my hands to finish mixing the cookie dough to help it come together.
- Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to create heaping scoops of cookie dough (you can do level scoops and create more cookies, I just wanted my cookies thick).
- Gently roll dough balls in the sugar and place them on the prepared baking sheet (do not press cookies down, keep them in balls so they bake thick).
- Bake for 8-9 minutes. Immediately remove cookies from the oven and add 1 heart sprinkle to each cookie.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes
- Place grinch sugar cookies into an airtight container and store at room temperature for about a week.
- You can also store these cookies in the freezer in an airtight container and they’ll last for a few months! When you’re ready to eat a tasty sugar cookie, thaw them in the container at room temperature.
