🧾 Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
**1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (3 oz) package Jello (choose your favorite flavors like strawberry, lime, or orange for a colorful effect)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
👩🍳 Instructions:
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Mix the wet ingredients:
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
Add the Jello mix:
Add the Jello powder to the butter mixture and stir until it’s fully incorporated. This will give your cookies both color and flavor.
Combine the dry ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Roll the dough into balls:
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten the cookies:
Use a glass or the palm of your hand to gently flatten each dough ball.
Bake:
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as you want them soft and chewy.
Cool and serve:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
🍽 Serving Suggestion:
These colorful cookies are perfect for Easter baskets, as a treat for kids, or just to brighten up your holiday spread! The Jello adds a burst of color and a fun, fruity flavor.
