Are you looking for a cookie that is hard to resist and will crack a smile on even the grouchiest of grinches this Christmas? Look no further than my Grinch Cookies.

These vegan babies are naturally dyed green, filled with sweet goodness and guaranteed to have everyone grabbing seconds (might I suggest double batches!?) Get ready to whip up some holiday magic in the kitchen with these Grinch Cookies! A playful nod to everyone’s favorite Christmas grump, transformed into chewy, sweet, and festively green cookies. Perfect for baking with kids or adding a touch of fun to your holiday dessert spread, these cookies are naughty, nice, and a grinchy Christmas delight! 

The Wholesome Ingredients that Make Up these Deliciously Vegan Grinch Cookies

  • Vegan Butter: For that classic cookie texture without any dairy any vegan butter will do!
  • Sugar: Adds the much desired sweetness to these cookies – I suggest granulated Brown Sugar and/or Coconut Sugar
  • Natural Green Food Dye: Gives these cookies their iconic Grinch-green color, packed with vitamins from spinach.
  • Matcha Powder: A key player to making these cookies as festive as possible; they deepen the green color and add a subtle earthiness to the overall flavor.
  • Vegan White Chocolate Chips: Creamy, sweet morsels for a delightful texture.
  • Red Heart-Shaped Sprinkles/Candies: A sweet vegan-friendly touch that adds to the Grinch theme.
  • Vanilla Extract
  • All-Purpose Flour
  • Baking Soda & Baking Powder
  • Salt

Perfect for holiday parties, as a fun baking project with kids, or simply to spread some Christmas cheer. Have a work bake sale? These cookies would absolutely be a hit, plus the fact that they are completely plant-based, they’re an inclusive option for all your holiday guests.

Preheat those ovens and get ready for some festive baking fun with my Grinch Cookies. Here’s to a holiday season filled with joy, laughter, and delicious treats!

Equipment

  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • ½ cup vegan butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (extra for rolling) 
  • 2½ tbsp brown sugar or coconut sugar tightly packed
  • a few drops of a natural store bought food dye mixed with 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp matcha powder
  • ¾ cup vegan white chocolate chips
  • vegan friendly red heart shaped sprinkles/candies

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease, or Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper
  • In a large mixing bowl, add vegan butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar/coconut sugar and beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy (around 3 mins) 
  • Next, add the natural green food dye mix and vanilla extract, then cream together once more just to combine.
  • To that add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, matcha powder and salt to the bowl. Mix together until the flour is evenly incorporated.
  • Pour in the white vegan choc chips and red heart shaped candies and mix through.
  • Scoop heaping tbs of the mixture and roll into balls, roll the balls in granulated sugar then place on the baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies on the middle rack in the oven, one tray at a time, for 10-12 minutes. The perfect cookie will have edges that are firming but the center will still look slightly underbaked. This will ensure you have the perfect chewy consistency.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven. Allow one minute to cool ever so slightly on the tray before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • Then. DEVOUR and enjoy these festive and fun holiday cookies!!! 

Notes

** for a flat cookie, reduce baking soda and baking powder to a 1/8 tsp each or omit entirely. 
** add as much or as little natural food dye as you’d like to achieve the shade of green that you would like best. 
** if you like things on the sweeter side add an extra 1/4 cup of vegan white chocolate chips

  1. I have made these cookies, and they are very very good… I didn’t have quite a full tablespoon of Matcha, but I made them anyways lol. They’re crunchy and a little chewy the perfect cookie.!!
