Grinch Cookies

One of my Dad’s very favourite Christmas programs was How The Grinch Stole Christmas. The animated version follows perfectly with Dr. Seuss’ book and I couldn’t even begin to guess how many times I have seen it since I was a child.

This will be the eighth Christmas without my Dad and I am proud to say I have made sure to continue the tradition with my own children. We have already watched it roughly five times and it isn’t even December yet. These Grinch Cookies are fabulous for whatever holiday program or celebration you are enjoying!
