- 70 g Vegan Margarine
- 150 g Caster sugar

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to bake your very own batch of Grinch Crinkle Cookies:
- Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, mix the self-raising flour and vegan margarine until the mixture becomes crumbly. This forms the base of your cookie dough. - Add Flavor and Color:
Incorporate the caster sugar, vanilla extract, lemon extract, soy milk, and green food coloring. Mix all the ingredients until they form a smooth dough. If the dough feels too dry, add more soy milk a little at a time. If it’s too wet, sprinkle in a bit more flour. - Chill the Dough:
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This helps the dough firm up, making it easier to handle. - Preheat the Oven:
As the dough chills, preheat your oven to 180℃ (356℉). - Shape the Cookies:
Once chilled, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. - Coat with Icing Sugar:
Roll each dough ball in icing sugar until thoroughly coated. This gives the cookies their distinctive crinkle appearance once baked. - Bake the Cookies:
Arrange the coated balls on a baking tray, ensuring there’s ample space between each one. Flatten them slightly with your hand or a spoon. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have developed a crinkled surface. - Add a Sweet Heart:
Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press a red Skittle or vegan candy into the center of each cookie while they are still soft. - Cool the Cookies:
Allow the cookies to cool completely on the tray before transferring them to a wire rack or serving plate.
