Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (softened) Can substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
- 1 cup granulated sugar Can be substituted with a sugar substitute for a lower-calorie option.
- 1 cup Jello mix (your choice of flavor) Vibrant flavors like raspberry, cherry, or lime recommended.
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour Ensure accurate measurement to avoid dry texture.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- a pinch salt
- Optional: sprinkles for added fun
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2–3 minutes.
- Gradually add in 1 cup of your preferred Jello mix and the eggs. Mix until everything is well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients.
- Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls—about one inch in diameter.
- Place them on the lined baking sheets with enough space for them to spread while baking.
- For an extra touch of fun, sprinkle some colorful sugar or jimmies on top before baking.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, until the cookies look slightly puffy and just turning golden on the bottoms.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
Be careful not to overmix the dough once the flour is added to maintain a tender texture. Let the cookies cool properly before indulging for the best flavor and texture.
