Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until well-combined
- Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Beat until well-combined.
- Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir in just until combined.
- Add food coloring, and stir in just until combined.
- Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized scoops.
- Roll in granulated sugar and then in powdered sugar.
- Place 2" apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. The edges should be set, and the centers should be soft.
- Immediately gently press a heart sprinkle into each cookie.
- Remove to wire racks to cool.
Notes
- Butter - I use salted butter. If using unsalted butter, add an additional 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Egg yolk - The egg yolk helps to add a bit of chew to the cookies.
- Vanilla extract - Feel free to add more vanilla if you'd like.
- All-purpose flour - It's important to properly weigh the flour. Either weigh it or sift/stir it to break it up. Then lightly spoon into a measuring cup and level.
- Green food coloring - Green gel food coloring or regular green food dye will work.
- Granulated sugar - The granulated sugar helps add flavor.
- Heart sprinkles - I used candy red heart sprinkles with a small heart inside of a bigger heart (affiliate link). I liked the heart within a heart since the Grinch's small heart grows three sizes in the movie.
