Grinch Cookies (With Cake Mix!)

Mix your dough: Add your cake mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed until combined. Add your green food coloring one drop at a time until you reach your desired color and mix on low until just combined (I used 5 drops of gel food coloring). Cover dough and let it chill in fridge for 30 minutes so it’s easier to scoop.

Roll your cookies: Whisk together powdered sugar and cornstarch in a bowl. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop a 1-2 tablespoon size ball of dough and plop it into your powdered sugar and cornstarch mixture. Dough will be really sticky but once it lands in the powdered sugar it’s easier to handle. Roll it around until covered and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Bake your cookies: Bake cookies at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until the center is just set but the cookies haven’t started to brown on top yet.

Add heart and cool: While still warm, add your heart sprinkle and after 3-5 minutes transfer to a cooling rack to completely cool.
