Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 packet (3 oz) flavored Jello powder (any flavor)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Mix in Eggs and Jello: Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition to combine fully. Then, mix in the flavored Jello powder until the batter is evenly colored and flavored.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined and a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to keep cookies tender.
  4. Bake Until Set: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set but still soft. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can experiment with different Jello flavors to create a variety of colorful cookie batches.
  • For a more intense color and flavor, consider using an additional tablespoon of gelatin powder.
  • Do not overbake; the cookies should be soft and slightly chewy.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • These cookies pair well with a glass of milk or a cup of tea.
