The Godseys: Movie Night: The Grinch

Advent Activity Calender: movie night

We watched the Grinch, made Grinch cookies, and Grinch punch.

Grinch Cookies

6 Tablespoons Butter
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
18-¼ ounces, weight Box French Vanilla Cake Mix
2 Eggs
Green gel food coloring, until desired color is reached

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Melt the butter and set aside to cool. In a shallow dish, mix together the powdered sugar and cornstarch with a fork. In a large bowl, mix together the cooled butter, cake mix and eggs. This will be a little hard to stir together. Add the green food coloring and make sure it is all mixed in. Take two spoons and drop a blob of dough in the powdered sugar mixture. Move it around with spoon until it is mostly covered in powdered sugar. Then, once it is covered, roll it into a ball and place it on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Each oven is different, but I bake these for 9 minutes. (They won’t look done but they are.) Take them out of the oven and cool on the pan for one minute. Then move onto a cooling rack. Makes 36 cookies.

I found this on Pinterest which linked me to A Home For Dinner (I am going to try to start including recipes and instructions and links in my blog posts. Its just hard when I post from my phone)

Then the Grinch Punch... I pinned a recipe that used sprite, vanilla ice cream and green food coloring and was more like a float. I decided to use lime sherbet and Sprite Zero and just keep adding and blending until I got a thick liquid consistency. I wanted more of a drink than a dessert. I even rimmed the glasses with green sprinkles. Aw.

The cookies, they were yummy!
