COLORFUL CANDY BAR COOKIES

No one will guess these sweet treats with the candy bar center start with store-bought dough. Roll them in colored sugar or just dip the tops for even faster assembly. Instead of using miniature candy bars for the centers, you can also slice regular-size Snickers candy bars into 1-inch pieces. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen

COLORFUL COOKIES



Colorful Cookies image

When I saw this recipe in a Betty Crocker cookbook I was somewhat skeptical, but when I found a box of orange jello in my cupboard (I usually don't buy it and couldn't remember what I had it for) I decided to give it a try,. I was quite surprised and pleased with the results. I decided to top them and make orange coconut cookies, and not only did they taste nice and buttery (I used butter), the icing and coconut made them look quite pretty and very festive for the holidays. You can use any flavor jello you like (the reason I guess they are called "colorful") and any topping -- coconut, sprinkles, chiopped nuts, candied cherries, colored sugar -- the sky's the limit. I made them with orange jello, and dipped them right after icing into coconut.

Time 32m

Yield 42 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (3 ounce) box fruit flavored gelatin, divided (jello)
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon reserved gelatin powder
3 tablespoons very hot water
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Remove 1 tablespoon of the gelatin powder and set aside to use for the icing later on.
  • Put the remainder of the gelatin powder in a large bowl with the butter and powdered sugar. Cream well.
  • Combine the flour with the salt and add to the butter mixture; mix well.
  • Shape the dough into 3/4 inch to 1 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies, until the edges just begin to slightly brown.
  • Remove from the oven, let sit on the cookie sheet for a minute or so, then remove cookies to a rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the icing by dissolving the reserved 1 tablespoon of gelatin powder in the 3 tablespoons of hot water in a bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, then add the vanilla and stir in the 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Dip the tops of the cookies into the icing, then either dip in the topping of your choice or place back on the rack and sprinkle with your topping and let dry completely.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your cookies have the best flavor and texture.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them lighter and more tender.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before decorating: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

These colorful cookies are a fun and easy way to add some cheer to your next party or gathering. With their bright colors and delicious flavor, they're sure to be a hit with people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these colorful cookies a try!
