Fruity Cookie Recipe

These cookies can be made using any flavor jello that you can find. I used strawberry to test this recipe, and the cookies were delicious. This recipe uses a cookie press, which is a nice reminder that the cookie press does not need to be saved for Christmas cookies. I made these cookies for the block party because the recipe makes a lot of bite-sized cookies that are easy to share. The cookies quickly disappeared.

When I made this recipe, I had two boxes of gelatin. But you could use just one box and reserve a spoonful for the sprinkling or skip the sprinkling step. Also, I found the temperature in the recipe to be too high and the time too long, so I updated the recipe below.

Fruity Cookie Recipe 

• 4 cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 package (3 oz.) gelatin, any flavor
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• Additional gelatin for sprinkling

Sift the flour with baking powder. Set aside. Cream the butter. Gradually add sugar and gelatin. Cream well after each addition. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing well after each addition until smooth. Force dough through cookie press onto ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle with extra gelatin or decorate as desired. Bake at 375 for 11 minutes, or until golden brown at edges. Enjoy!
