Grinch Crinkle Cookies


  • Author: Sarah

Ingredients

Scale

To create these delightful Grinch Crinkle Cookies, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 200 g Self-raising flour
  • 70 g Vegan Margarine
  • 150 g Caster sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Lemon extract (or additional vanilla extract)
  • 2 tbsp Soy milk
  • ½ tsp Green food coloring
  • 100 g Icing sugar
  • 12 Red Skittles (or any red vegan candy)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to bake your very own batch of Grinch Crinkle Cookies:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Preheat the Oven:
    As the dough chills, preheat your oven to 180℃ (356℉).
  5. Shape the Cookies:
    Once chilled, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
  6. Coat with Icing Sugar:
    Roll each dough ball in icing sugar until thoroughly coated. This gives the cookies their distinctive crinkle appearance once baked.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Cool the Cookies:
    Allow the cookies to cool completely on the tray before transferring them to a wire rack or serving plate.
