Grinch Cookies

I don't normally post cake mix cookie recipes but I just couldn't resist posting these Grinch cookies from http://www.inkatrinaskitchen.com.  They are super cute - ultra-easy to make and really yummy - the trifecta of the perfect Christmas cookie!

This week I am absolutely swamped with Christmas orders and present wrapping and I'm not even going to mention the fact that my house is a DISASTER.   Soooo, when Courtney came home and announced that she needed to take cookies to a school party, I pulled up this recipe on Pinterest and turned the kitchen over to her.  (This really is the perfect recipe for kids who love to bake.)

Courtney did a fantastic job with these cookies and I was even able to snap a few pictures in between my gift wrapping.  Apparently the kids at school loved them too because the box came home empty from the party.
