St. Patrick’s Day Crinkle Cookies

I love cooking with my granddaughters, and the holidays are the perfect excuse to do just that.  Even if it is only for St. Patrick’s Day.  Any excuse to share with them and make memories is good enough for me.  I hope y’all like these St. Patrick Day Crinkle Cookies.

Ingredients

• 1 French vanilla cake mix (white will work as well)
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 8 tablespoons butter (1 stick) melted
• green food coloring (about 50 drops, depending on how green you want them)
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon corn starch
• Green Crystal Sugar (you can make with sugar and 1 drop of food coloring if you can’t find in store.)

Baking Instructions

Blend cake mix along with the eggs, vanilla and butter till well combined.

Add food coloring and mix thoroughly.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. (this will keep them from spreading to much when baked)

Mix together powdered sugar and corn starch

Scoop dough out with small scoop or teaspoon, and roll in powdered sugar.

Place on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

Sprinkle with Green Sugar

Bake for 9-10 minutes.  Let cool for a minute after baking on tray before moving to cooling rack.
