Easy Grinch Cookies

[@artboxfashion4042]

I have been a Grinch this Christmas. I'm sick and my cat died this past fall. We did a clay paw print, and I put little green and lavender hearts on it. When I saw this cookie with the white powdered sugar and little red heart, it reminded me of her paw print.

[@jadakowers590]

I’m so sorry fir your loss.

[@gaylejones1545]

Praying for you. So hard to loose a pet.

[@Jane-West]

Hope this Christmas is better and you are able to focus on happy memories!❤❤❤

[@zombietrash416]

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how horrible it must feel to lose something special that you had a connection with. I hope you're feeling better as the time passes by.

[@artboxfashion4042]

Thank you all for your kind replies. I ended up fostering and keeping 2 kittens. Cat lady forever❤

All your measurements is what I love about Preppy Kitchen recipes. All you need is scale and you get perfection every time.

[@sydmarieox]

Soooooo going to make these tonight for my students class party! Always on time, John!!! ♥️

[@PreppyKitchen]

Hope you enjoy! They're so fun to make.

SAMMMEEE

[@juliebaker6969]

@@PreppyKitchen You could also use spinach powder. It doesn't add much by way of flavor, and is easily overpowered with the vanilla, or perhaps a little almond if the vanilla isn't strong enough (it SHOULD be though). And if the kids are eating them, it never hurts to slip a little extra veggies in on them.😉

Do you think it's a coincidence?

[@meIatonin]

u have school on christmas?!

[@1944JerriMellas]

Just wanted to say…I’ve just completed the fourth (and last) jar of your Lemon Curd. When I watched you make it and you said “It’s sunshine in a jar”..that’s how I presented to our friends because we are in VERY cold Utah with snow on the ground and more predicted this week. Truly delicious, not difficult to make and I get to lick the spoon❣️. Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄❄️🍋.

[@wendymarie7151]

Great Grinchy cookies John! And the Grinch's heart grew two sizes after having a cookie. Thanks John. 🎄🥰🥂

[@yournextsmile]

Tried this recipe and my family was begging me to make more! Thank you so much for this recipe :)

[@Phreshus]

Made these yesterday for our New Years Eve cookie exchange....THESE WERE A HIT

[@ngocquach4554]

Make this second time since Christmas..this time i use different colour and add a star on it .... it was a hit... so yummy and not too sweet ... The bonus thing is.. it so easy and quick to make..

[@kizzlekakes]

Just made these for the kids tomorrow! I made mine Vegan! Replaced butter with vegan butter (earth balance) and instead of eggs I used cinnamon applesauce! They turned out 10/10 🎉

[@samanthacrisp9421]

John, you are so adorable! I love watching you cook, your humor and just good nature! Thx!

[@Ohheyitsyou]

I made these and they are soooo good. I sent them to school in my kids' lunches and they loved showing their friends.

[@richardengelhardt582]

My kids love making these! My boys don't much like eating anything sweet, but they love baking for others and for parties. Merry Christmas to all!

[@tinaknoell2401]

I thought i was alone in "cleaning" my beaters that way... slightly lifting the bsater and allowing stuck dough to fling off... love it!

[@secretforreddit]

I so appreciate you giving both the metric and imperial measurements!

[@sharonb9929]

Made these and the pecan pie bars for Christmas. They were a big hit. Thanks so much for these quick and easy recipes!

[@pamdavis6604]

Merry Christmas John, hubby, boys and to your mom and all your adorable animals. Love your Lil family so much. Hope our world is blessed in 2023 with strong leadership, love for our Country. 🎅🤶🎄Love from Arizona

[@newjoyyork]

My 5 year old and I made these today. The roads are closed and everything is under layers of ice. This was a great way to warm the house up and create those awesome Christmas memories with her. I subbed 10g. Of matcha with the powdered sugar, and the matcha vanilla flavor IS SO DELICIOUS! Thank you so much for these fool-proof recipes, I don’t have to worry about wasting anything because your recipes always come out. Happy Holidays to you and your family🎄

[@camilletomer]

They're so fabulous! I love the addition of the heart! Such charming little cookies! Thank you for sharing! So fun!

[@natalieperez4982]

I am making these on Friday for my nephews💚💚💚

[@poodlegirl55]

My Granddaughter would love these.

[@namiesnaturals3557]

I didn't have fd coloring so I turned them into almond cookies half moon n used almonds n almond extract. They came out good, just few more min in oven. Lol Merry Christmas 🎄, thank u.

[@denisseandrade8288]

My boyfriend and I were both watching your videos at the same time! I was making these Grinch cookies and he was making another recipes of yours. It was a great bonding moment for us. 🥰

[@aprilinalabama9074]

I love the Grinch ❤... Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🎄🎁

[@tinabilledeaux7033]

Cool cookies! You cannot stay in a bad mood watching you, thank you. You also give good tips, thanks.

[@msdang7]

Your demeanor in the kitchen is very soothing 😌

[@lesliespann6420]

These cookies are as adorable as you are, honey! Combining the food coloring with the eggs to prevent color inconsistency and over-mixing is a great idea, and one I’ve never thought of. Thanks for that! Peace be with you this holiday season! 💚

[@charlottaahmed4486]

I made your Grinch cookies a few years ago. VERY authentic looking...like baked on mold! Delicious though. The Grinch would've been proud!! (Maybe your boys will like this idea)!

[@Poonamsmartkitchen]

Amazing

[@JoanRobertsPawling]

My son and I are doing a baking marathon today and tomorrow. We’ll be making these cookies too. Really enjoy watching John. He’s so personable and his directions are so clear and concise. Merry Christmas!

[@cellinamc]

We made this in our 4-H group. They turned out great!

[@Jacob_M6]

I am enjoying my cookies right now thanks for the recipe this was happy to make with my family

[@lorinanninga224]

Thanks for the food coloring adding to the wet mixture tip!! Great idea!!

[@jeannettecastro6050]

Made these for a Christmas party and they were a hit.

[@jubigeorge6854]

I tried making this cookies it came out so well my mother loved it. Thank you for the recipe wish u all a Merry Christmas 🎄⭐ & a Happy New year.

[@faizabhatt3949]

Thankyou for sharing this lovely recipe with us.I Love the way you give exact measurements of everything. I'm also very particular about that.Im glad I have someone who likes perfectionism. God bless you. Thanks

[@cremebrulee4759]

Putting the food coloring into the eggs was is such a good tip.

[@12thpie]

I made these and everyone loves them ❤️ thank you John

[@itsmeyourfriend]

Made these last night just in time for the holiday festivities! They are so easy and delicious. I recommend not chilling the dough - even between batches. The cookies I chilled didn't spread but that also meant they didn't crack like the photo and just weren't as cute. I also think having room temp eggs would make the green gel coloring incorporate better. Have fun making these everyone 💚 *You also need half the amount of powdered sugar/corn starch mix at the end to toss the cookies in. I ended up having way more then I needed for one batch. Happy baking!

[@symanthaisawesome]

My son and I made these for grinch day at school this year! They came out great. He had a blast. I’m sure we will be making them again!

[@hmc9354]

John, you are the best! Thank you so much for your thoughtful and very doable recipes! Can’t wait to make these!

[@929jpotter]

Love this! And thanks for mentioning a no food dye option. It’s a big deal for some families. ❤

[@Phlimbob]

Yes, I was thinking green eggs and ham. This is a cute recipe, but I think I'll make the adult version with your chocolate rum crinkle cookies from your cook book. I made the cookies for my coworkers and they loved it! I only got to try a single one myself, so I'm going to make a whole batch just for me!

[@russellmiles8783]

That's immediately what I thought!

[@sqwerlgirl1332]

Ha ha ha! The feel of corn starch! Totally agree, I feel the same way about suede and micro fiber towels 😖

[@christinajimenez9058]

These are delicious! I loved the easy recipe and my 6 year old son approves of the taste! Thank you for continuing to share these amazing recipes! ❤

[@ochun57]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you for this recipe.

[@sdkvmeifj]

measurements help so much. appreciate it

[@its_rachel1]

You're that one Baker I always come back to!

[@Blopez383]

So delicious! Thank you John for fun cookies for kids and adults. Love the heart 🌲

[@jadeng6748]

I love baking and this one is my favourite Christmas cookie recipe

[@kortneygolden599]

We made these tonight along with your sugar cookies with jam. They were all delicious. Than you

[@jenniferneal4323]

I am so jazzed to bake these with my children this week! They love you and they love the Grinch! These look fun and definitely easy enough for little hands to help with. Side story- my family and I were at Target over the weekend and my 4yo son saw your book and shouted, "Mom! Prepster has a book!" I then shouted across the store to my husband and daughter, "OMG!!!! Preppy Kitchen!!" We all totally love you! Aaaand I better be getting your book for Christmas or someone isn't getting cookies. 🤣

[@LadyRow00]

I made these for Christmas EXCEPT they were lemon crinkle, lol. Lemon is my life. Thanks for the cute idea, John; everyone loved them!

[@DiaDia18]

Very nice recipie cookies John! They looks amazing! Have a nice day! 👍👏🎄☃️❄️

[@ericanelson1461]

The cookie 🍪 looks scrumptious John. I’ll have to try this one out.

[@queenfee7531]

I love your recipes and appreciate how you explain what to do or not do and why. Happy Holidays!

[@ronalddevine9587]

What an incredible recipe. Definitely trying this.

[@Rose_Sakura]

I made these today and it’s been a lot drier of a climate this year where I live. The dough was super dry and crumbly so I added a few tablespoons of milk and it saved the batter.

[@abrielle13]

I've seen several versions of these on pinterest and have been wanting to make them for years! This is my sign to make them this year.

[@JustineBarnum]

My Filipino grandma and I made cookies exactly like this but with pandan extract (green colored) and it was delicious. Although we didn't have the heart so I'll add that next time.

[@elilianinha]

I loved them! Sending u the best wishes ! Merry Christmas from São Paulo-Brazil

[@sillydinofan]

these are so cute !

[@lchau2023]

Enjoy watching your videos! Thanks for sharing your recipes 😊 ❤

[@kathaleenreed3166]

This will definitely appeal to kids of all ages, and I can see so many variations on this. For example, substitute mint extract and red M&Ms for the vanilla and cinnamon hearts, or make them next Halloween using licorice candies to make Frankenstein cookies.

[@radsmatazz]

I was thinking of using peppermint instead of vanilla too

[@Vermilion_13]

In stead of using matcha maybe try pandan extract! It does have a distinct flavor, but it is a mild flavor and it’s naturally green so it will dye your cookies a naturally green color. I would say give it a try. ☺️ 1:44 Edit: The flavor to me is like a nutty vanilla taste once baked, but it is definitely a hard to describe flavor.

[@kathleenketcham2972]

They look so cute...

[@jamiescott5461]

Merry Christmas John, Brian and the boys. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄❤️❤️❤️

[@ivacheung792]

Oooh, I want to try this with matcha powder! Thanks, John!

What a great cookie. Thank you for the recipe. Merry Christmas to you and yours. You’re the best ❤️

I bought your book for my mom as a Christmas gift. She loves your videos.

[@Romafood]

bellissima idea, molto carini

[@brontebenoit6181]

An excellent addition to my Christmas cookie baking lineup! Happy Holidays! 🎄🎄🎄

[@dr.dawnasper7197]

Great recipe, John! And just in time for our cookie exchange! I didn't have the heart candies, so shaped some dried cranberries into heart shapes and it worked just fine. I love watching EVERY episode and appreciate all the tips (and humor) you share. Thank-you for encouraging use of a kitchen scale, especially for measuring flour. Baking may be an art, but it's all about the chemistry, too--and now I get wonderful, consistent results❣

[@Toseuteuu]

I’m gonna make this for my friend’s Xmas/potluck. It looks so aesthetically pleasing

[@craftycat1185]

Awesome as always. Left handed…. love it. We’re in our right minds. Merry Christmas to you and you family, Much love to all❤️🙏🏻💯

So awesome. I’m always singing the grinch song to a grumpy coworker. These are perfect😂

Merry Christmas ⛄ and a happy new year 🎈 to you, your hubby and your 2 adorable boys. Best wishes from our bungalow in Southampton, England to your farm. Can't wait to see lots more goodies in the new year! Ps. This nana can't cook but I love watching you xx

I'll be making these on Christmas Eve! Thank you!

[@saraloper8451]

Wow That recipe looks so easy an much fun for kiddos to make I can't wait to make Thank you bunches Love your channel

[@phongchartw.phaskorn3645]

Wow! So inspiring! 👍❤️ This reminds me of the pandan leaves here in Thailand. I would love to change the colouring and flavouring process a bit by replacing them with one local ingredient - pandan leaf - which gives both refreshing green colour and nice sweet pandanus leaf scent at the same time. My version of Grinch Cookies would be the total natural colour and flavour one. Voila! Thanks for sharing this inspiring clip! Happy Holidays! ❤️

[@mylinhtran7756]

I love your recipes!❤This will be perfect for my Christmas cookie boxes!

[@biancawilliams2367]

Definitely making these! I tried the meringue cookies and they came out great! Thank you John❤

[@davak9552]

This was amazing! These cookies are sooo good. Thanks a lot!

[@CatsPajamas23]

How adorable! You even put the little heart on them! Thanks for this idea. Love and Happy Holiday wishes to you and your family!

[@heatherkiehlmeier3714]

I love your recipes but I do have a few suggestions as I am on my 3rd batch today for my grandsons Grinch party at preschool tomorrow. First if you have it use gel food coloring and go a little darker as cookies will bake lighter . Also, use clear imitation vanilla if you have it . I found that real vanilla adds a muddy appearance to the color . ( I was going for neon green as this was for 3 year olds after all! ) Also the cornstarch and powder sugar cookie toss did not crack well. I found that rolling in granulated sugar then just powder plain powder sugar provided a better crack. I did fridge the first tray of cookies for 5 minutes but found this really not necessary. I do not want anyone to take this advice as criticism as I admire John and find his channel and recipies are great. Just adding what I found worked best for me.

[@anndalynnketellapper8296]

My cookies did not turn out either. I’m disappointed ☹️ . They are not pillowy, soft, or cracked, but rather flat and overly sweet, but hey, they are green…

[@Michelle-Gx3jq]

My nieces will have fun making these with me. Thanks for the recipe🙃

[@nancyallen8596]

We love all your cookies!!❤️but I especially love the Grinch theme! ♥️♥️

[@andriakinyon3949]

Have never seen these cookies. WOW… nice 😊

[@here4catsandfood196]

Omg love this so much! I have been thinking about how I want to make almond crinkle cookies and here you are dropping this at the perfect time as always! I am going to vegabize them with aquafaba and add a little almond flour and a touch of almond extract! Can't wait, thank you as always!! 💚💗
