Grinch Cookies

I'm always on the hunt for fun festive recipes this time of year so when I stumbled upon a recipe for "Grinch Cookies", I knew I had to try it.

Ingredients

1 box of french vanilla cake mix

2 eggs

1 drop of green food coloring

1/2 cup of vegetable oil

Powdered sugar for dusting

Heart shaped red candies

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine cake mix, oil, eggs, and food coloring in a mixing bowl
Chill dough for 10-15 minutes in the fridge
Scoop tablespoons full of the dough into a dish of powdered sugar and roll into cookie balls
Press heart candies into dough and move to the oven
Bake on a non-stick cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes

Unfortunately after checking several stores, I was unable to find heart shaped candies (I bet I'll see them everywhere for Valentines Day!) so I improvised with good ol' regular red candies. The cookies are amazingly soft and chewy and very festive!
