St. Patrick's Day Cookies

I love chocolate crinkle cookies, they are an all time favorite.  So when I found this recipe for green crinkle cookies, I knew I had to give them a try.  They aren't chocolate, but they are so chewy and delicious.  And easy to make!

You don't have to wait for a holiday to make these.  It's only the food coloring that makes them festive. :o)  The website I linked to also has a red velvet peppermint version that I'm dying to try.

RECIPE:

1 18.25oz box French vanilla cake mix

6 T butter

2 eggs

Green food coloring (A LOT!)

1 C powdered sugar

1 t corn starch

Preheat the oven to 375°. Melt the butter and set aside to cool. In a shallow dish, mix together the powdered sugar and cornstarch with a fork.  In a large bowl, mix together the cooled butter, cake mix and eggs. This will be a little hard to stir together. Add the green food coloring and make sure it is all mixed in.  Drop spoonfuls of batter into the powdered sugar and roll around until completely covered.  Roll in a ball and put on a cookie sheet.  Bake for about 9 minutes, until they are slightly puffed up.  They may look not quite done, but don't overcook or you'll lose the yummy chewiness.  Cool about one minute on cookie sheet and then move to a cooling rack.
