Jello Cookies
Soft, colorful sugar cookies made with fruity gelatin powder for a bright pop of flavor and fun party-ready color. Easy to mix, quick to bake, and perfect for holidays, bake sales, and baking with kids.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 package (3 oz) Jello gelatin powder (any flavor)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- additional gelatin powder or granulated sugar, for rolling (optional)
- 1/2 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, 2–3 minutes. Beat in the dry Jello powder until fully incorporated.
- Add the egg and vanilla; beat until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture on low speed just until a soft dough forms. Fold in sprinkles if using.
- Scoop 1-tablespoon portions, roll into balls, and, if desired, roll in a little extra gelatin powder or sugar. Place 2 inches apart on prepared sheets and gently flatten the tops.
- Bake 8–10 minutes, until edges are just set and centers look slightly soft. Do not overbake.
- Cool on the baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
