Jello Cookies
Description
These Jello Cookies start with a creamed mixture of softened butter and sugar combined with egg and vanilla. Dry ingredients including flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar are whisked separately and gradually mixed in to form a dough.
The dough is divided into four equal parts, each kneaded with approximately two tablespoons of flavored gelatin powder. Adding food coloring enhances vibrancy but is optional. The dough is formed into one-inch balls, rolled in extra jello powder or sugar, then flattened before baking.
Baked at 350°F (about 175°C) for 8–10 minutes, the cookies hold a soft, tender crumb with a hint of the jello’s fruity flavors. Cooling on a rack preserves their structure.
