  • Fold in chocolate chips

  • Do not peek or open the oven! They will turn out soft and chewy!

This recipe is from Kitchen Chater and Friends Cookbook 2, and from one of my cooking demo's at the Everything for cooking in your Kitchen Store.

Categories     Cookies

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 c butter or margarine, room temperature
1/2 c granulated sugar
3 oz pkg. lemon jell-o powder any flavor ( i like lemon)
2 medium eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 c all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
granulated sugar for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together butter, dry Jell-o powder and vanilla and then add flour, baking powder and salt, mixing well. Place dough in plastic wrap, it will be soft. Chill dough 30 minutes in refrigerator.Using 1/2 the dough(put other 1/2 back in fridge.)Pinch small walnut-size pieces of dough and place on lightly greased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart and flatten slightly with bottom of a glass dipped in sugar or you can roll out 1/4-inch thick and cut shapes with cookie cutter. Bake in 375^ oven for 8-10 minutes, until just lightly brown on edges. Let cool on cookie sheet 1 minute before removing to rack to cool completely. These are very delicate, and crisp up as they cool. --- Note: This dough can be made in 2 batches one batch with one color of jello another with a contrasting color. roll each color into a log and press them together - then wrap and roll in plastic wrap and chill at least 30 minutes. When ready to bake slice off cookies 1/4 inch thick and place at least 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake as above.This way they make cute Gingham cookies. Making about 5 dozen cookies.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh fruit juice or puree. Bottled or canned juice can be used in a pinch, but the flavor will not be as pronounced.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the fruit by hand. Just be sure to mash it until it is very smooth.
  • The dough will be very sticky, so it is important to chill it before rolling it out. This will make it much easier to handle.
  • If you don't have a cookie cutter, you can use a sharp knife to cut the dough into squares or circles.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Jello cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover Jello, and they are always a hit with kids and adults alike. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of Jello cookies that everyone will love.
