In summary, making Grinch green with food coloring is a fun and festive way to add a touch of holiday cheer to your treats. Whether you choose to use traditional food coloring or natural alternatives, you're sure to end up with a vibrant green color that will bring a smile to everyone's face. Once dough has formed, add food coloring, and mix until dough is green throughout (about 30-45 seconds).
On a large baking tray (lined with either parchment, foil and sprayed with nonstick spray), use a cookie scoop to form cookies, then roll into ball, roll through sugar, and place on cookie tray at least 2 inches apart on all sides. Find and save ideas about grinch green food coloring on Pinterest. Some areas of green will show through while others have a slight powdered sugar layer.
Heart Sprinkles - A small red heart sprinkle or candy heart on each cookie adds a pop of color and represents the Grinch's heart in the story. What Type of Food Coloring is Best? For this recipe, I used green gel food coloring. Mix in 3-5 drops of green food coloring.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix the whisked vanilla pudding mixture into the cream cheese until well combined. Fold in the cool whip.
Add in the mini marshmallows until coated. This way, if you need to add more food coloring for the perfect shade of Grinch-green, you can add it with the oil to help completely mix it into the dough. At this point in the recipe, I like to massage the dough with my hands to make sure there are no streaks of green food coloring.
FOOD COLORING - Use green gel food color to find your perfect shade of Grinch green. Start with 1/4 teaspoon and work your way up from there if needed. I highly suggest using gel food coloring over liquid food coloring as the colors are much more vibrant in baked goods.
