🛒 Ingredients:
1 box (3 oz) Jello (your choice of flavor – strawberry, lemon, orange, etc.)
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
👩🍳 Directions:
Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Add Jello: Add the Jello powder to the butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated. You should have a soft, colorful dough.
Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together.
Shape the cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the additional granulated sugar.
Bake: Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
⏱️ Time: 15-20 minutes
🍽️ Serves: About 24 cookies
🔥 Tip: Use different flavors of Jello to create a fun, rainbow effect or stick with one bright flavor for a festive look!
