Grinch Cookies with M&M's

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grinch Cookies with M&M's.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup later.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, creating a dry blend that will give your cookies the perfect rise.

3. Step 3

   In a separate large bowl, grab your electric mixer and cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Next, add in the egg, a splash of vanilla extract, and a few drops of green food coloring, mixing until everything is beautifully combined and vibrant.

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to bring the two mixtures together.

5. Step 5

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating gently until the green color is evenly spread throughout the dough.

6. Step 6

   Don’t forget to fold in about 3/4 cup of M&M's, making sure they’re well incorporated—this is what will make your cookies extra special! Once your dough is ready, scoop out tablespoons and roll them into delightful little balls.

7. Step 7

   Place these dough balls on your prepared baking sheet, and for a fun touch, gently press a few more M&M's onto the tops of each ball.

8. Step 8

   Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let them bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden.

9. Step 9

   Once they’re done, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
