Ingredients

  • ¾ Cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ Cup granulated sugar
  • 1 box Lime Jell-O gelatin
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ Teaspoon neon green gel food coloring
  • 1 Teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 Cups all-purpose flour
  • 24 Large Red Heart Sprinkles

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly cream together the butter, sugar, and Jell-O powder.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract and thoroughly mix again. Add the dye and mix well until no color streaks appear.
  4. Mix the baking powder into the flour and add it to the bowl. Mix well.
  5. Scoop cookie dough with a 2 Tablespoon scoop and place about 1-2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Place a red heart sprinkle in the middle of each cookie and bake for 12 minutes or until the cookies are just getting ready to be a very light golden color on the bottom.
  6. Remove and cool on wire rack.

Notes

  • I used this Neon Green Food Coloring. You can find it on Amazon (affiliate link included) or at your local stores. You'll also need these Large Heart Sprinkles (on Amazon).
  • These cookies overcook quickly. So, be careful even cooking them for one minute too long.
  • Store cookies in airtight container at room temperature. Also delicious chilled.
  • See blog post for more recipe tips and tricks.
