Description

These Grinch cookies are delicious green sugar cookies filled with creamy milk chocolate and topped with heart-shaped candy sprinkles, perfect for adding a festive touch to your holiday celebrations.


Ingredients

    Hershey’s Kisses Stuffed Cookies:

  • 18 Hershey’s kisses, unwrapped
  • 17.5 ounces sugar cookie mix
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ¾ teaspoon green gel food coloring
  • 18 large heart candy sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with baker’s spray or line with paper cups.
  2. Mix the egg and food coloring: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and green gel food coloring until well combined.
  3. Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the sugar cookie mix, flour, butter, and egg mixture until thoroughly combined.
  4. Form cookie cups: Scoop out dough, flatten into discs, place a Hershey’s Kiss in the center, and shape into balls.
  5. Bake: Place the dough balls in the muffin tin, ensuring the Hershey’s Kiss is upright, and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  6. Add decorations: Place a heart sprinkle on each cookie cup after baking and let cool.

Notes

  • Mixing the food coloring with the egg helps distribute the green gel food coloring evenly.
  • Ensure the Hershey’s Kiss is upright in the dough before baking.
