Tips for Making the Grinch Cookies Mason Jar

The Grinch Cookies Mason Jar is all about presentation. If you have a Cricut, cut out hearts with vinyl or add stickers- wouldn’t it be really fun if you had Grinch stickers? Either way, make the jar itself super cute!

Why are they called Grinch Cookies?

The GREEN food gel in the cake mix will create the Grinch cookie color.

Where do you put the instructions?

The Grinch Tag is for you to write the instructions on the back. So go ahead and get creative- use a red or green pen. Or you can print out the instructions and glue them on the back of the tags.
