These no bake Grinch cookies are always a crowd favorite at our Christmas get-togethers. Mixing bright green dipped Oreos, rich white chocolate, and tiny red hearts brings some Dr Seuss fun to our kitchen. They look super fancy but honestly take almost no time. Great if the holidays are hectic and you want something quick.
Cheerful Holiday Magic
I save so much hassle during crazy December days thanks to these. No stove or oven to worry about. Just dip them, decorate, and they're ready. Kids can't help but smile at the bold green color and those little hearts. They're always the first thing gone when we set out cookies.
What You'll Need
- Green food coloring for that bold classic color
- Coconut oil to get your chocolate extra glossy
- Golden Double Stuf Oreos because they're so rich and tasty
- White chocolate or almond bark for dipping your cookies
- Red heart sprinkles take them over the top
Time to Make Cookies
- Let Them Set
- Let your cookies hang out on the counter, or toss them in the fridge to speed things up
- Add the Hearts
- Drizzle a little leftover chocolate and press on those adorable red sprinkles
- Dip and Coat
- Swirl cookies in melted chocolate, then pop them on parchment paper
- Make it Green
- Squeeze in green color until you're happy with the shade
- Start with Chocolate
- First, melt your white chocolate and add some coconut oil to make it super smooth
Cookie Fun
Pour your melted chocolate in a zip bag, snip the end, and pipe on white lines with ease. Hurry and press on those red hearts before it hardens! My kids especially love this step, giggling as they turn plain Oreos into little Grinches.

Movie Night Favorite
Every year, we whip these cookies up before our Grinch movie marathon. The kids enjoy helping out while we watch, and it's always more about the laughter and decorating than the actual movie. They're simple, cute, and remind us of good times.
Common Questions
- → How quickly should I add hearts?
The hearts should go on when the chocolate's still melty—pop them on after sprinkling 3-4 cookies so they’ll stay put.
- → Why use coconut oil?
It makes the melted chocolate easier to work with and helps keep it smooth, not lumpy.
- → Why make in small batches?
Working with less means your chocolate stays melted and you don’t have to rush as much.
- → How long do these keep?
Stash them in a sealed container at room temp and they’ll be fine for about two weeks.
- → Can I use different cookies?
Sure! You can try other cookies, but Golden Oreos just look the most Grinchy with that green color.
