Grinch Jello Cookies
Grinch Jello Cookies make Christmas fun with many possibilities. Today these cookies flavoured with green gelatin belong to the Grinch. My grandson loves the movie and everything about the Grinch. I catch Owen sometimes slithering like the Grinch and then we break out in laughter.
If you like, make two batches colouring one with red gelatin. They look pretty packaged in cellophane alternating the colours and wrap in pretty Christmas ribbon. The gelatin gives these cookies the flavour and my Grinch cookies taste like lime.
It is always easy when the ingredients come together.
Once mixed theses cookies take on the colour of the Grinch today.
Sprinkle a little extra sugar over the top when they come out of the oven.
These go into a pretty tin today.
Watch how quickly these cookies come together.
