Christmas time is my favorite time of the year. My kids love a good movie night and themed snacks are always a plus. These Grinch Cookies are our favorite!

Step two: In a separate larger mixing bowl or in your stand mixer cream together butter and cream cheese until creamy.
Step three: Add in sugar and continue to mix until light and fluffy. Next, add in your egg along with your almond and vanilla extract. Last mix in your green dye. Add more as needed to get the color you want.
Step four: Slowly add your dry ingredients into your mixer with your wet ingredients until well combined. Cover and chill for 1 hour or overnight.
