These Grinch-inspired sugar cookies are so easy to make and feel extremely festive. They can be done in about an hour and everyone will fall in love with the simple cookie because of that cute red heart. They'll make even the biggest Grinch a holiday lover with one bite. We prefer gel food coloring over liquid as it will give you a more vibrant color without needing to drop half a bottle in there!
