COOKIES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These cream cheese cookies are a classic holiday cookie recipe, inspired by a fictional character called the \u201cGrinch\u201d that Dr. Seuss created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grinch-themed cookies, just like these Cream Cheese Grinch Cookies, are colored green and adorned with a tiny red heart. I\u2019ve also sprinkled powdered sugar over the cookies to resemble the white fluffy snow that falls during the Christmas holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-6-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"easy to make green christmas cookies for watching the grinch\" class=\"wp-image-22457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-6-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-6-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-6-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-6-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-6-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-6.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW SHOULD I STORE THESE CREAM CHEESE GRINCH COOKIES?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These cookies should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge due to the cream cheese in the cookie batter.

Once completely cool, store these cookies in an airtight container or Ziploc bag in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. For maximum freshness, wrap the cookies individually with plastic before storing them in an airtight container or Ziploc bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thaw the frozen cookies in the fridge overnight to be served chilled, or heat them for a few seconds in the microwave. The powdered sugar and red icing with a heart sprinkle may not hold up well after the frozen cookies are thawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-4-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"side view grinch christmas cookies with red and white striped towel in background\" class=\"wp-image-22455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-4-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-4-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-4-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-4-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DO I NEED TO CHILL MY COOKIE DOUGH BEFORE BAKING?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I haven\u2019t chilled the cookie dough for these cookies, but you can if you wish to. The purpose of chilling dough is to prevent cookies from spreading flat while they bake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These cookies don\u2019t need to be overly pillowy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT VARIATIONS CAN I MAKE TO THESE GRINCH COOKIES?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you want these cookies to be gluten-free, skip all-purpose flour and use something like Bob\u2019s Red Mill, a like-for-like substitution. Almond flour could also be used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since these cookies are a lovely green for the Grinch theme, consider flavoring them with peppermint or mint extract instead of vanilla extract. Almond extract is another popular flavor for Christmas cookies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add some mini white chocolate chips to the cookie batter for extra decadence.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Red and green M&Ms can also be added to the cookie dough and replace the red heart sprinkle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"green colored Grinch Christmas cookies with red candied hearts with a wooden background\" class=\"wp-image-22453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-2-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grinch-christmas-cookies-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TIPS FOR MAKING CREAM CHEESE GRINCH COOKIES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It\u2019s important to allow your freshly baked cream cheese cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes on the baking sheet before being transferred. The cookies need this time for the base to harden, preventing the soft cream cheese filling from spilling out on the pan when you lift the cookies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>These cream cheese Grinch cookies are perfect for gifting to friends and family for Christmas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can make the cookie dough ahead of time and store it in the freezer, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, and then bake your cookies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a cookie scoop to create uniform-sized cookie balls. This will also help to bake all cookies evenly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coat the baking tray lightly with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper, so the cookies don\u2019t stick to the baking sheet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"
