1. Can I make Grinch Crumbl Christmas Sugar Cookies ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the dough up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate it. You can also bake the cookies and store them in an airtight container for up to five days. If you want to freeze the cookies, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet before freezing, and then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to two months. Just make sure to frost and decorate the cookies once they’re fully thawed.

2. Can I use a different color for the frosting?

Absolutely! While neon green is the signature Grinch color, you can swap it out for other colors, like soft mint green, bright red, or even pink for a Valentine’s Day twist. Just be sure to use food coloring that’s suitable for baking, and adjust the amount to get the perfect shade.

3. How do I make sure my cookies bake evenly?

To ensure your Grinch Crumbl Christmas Sugar Cookies bake evenly, be sure to flatten each dough ball into a uniform thickness. Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough and chill the cookies for at least 15 minutes before baking. This will help them maintain their shape and bake evenly without spreading too much.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and creamy.
Add vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter mixture and continue mixing until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Shape the dough into small balls, about 1-2 tablespoons each, and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Gently flatten each dough ball.
Chill the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to prevent spreading.
Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are just barely golden. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
To make the frosting, beat the powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add heavy cream and neon green food coloring to achieve the desired color and texture.
Once the cookies have cooled, pipe the frosting onto each cookie and decorate with red heart sprinkles and Christmas sprinkles around the edges.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

Ensure the butter is at room temperature before mixing for a smoother dough.
Chill the dough before baking for thicker cookies that hold their shape.
You can swap almond extract with more vanilla extract for a stronger vanilla flavor.
These cookies can be stored in the fridge for up to five days or frozen for up to two months.
