Fruity Spritz Cookies made with Jell-O image

This recipe came from a magazine page in Good Housekeeping, and I remember making them in the early '80's with my mom, so this recipe is at least that old. I've made this with several different Jell-o flavors and they've all been good. If you have trouble handling the dough in the cookie press chill it a bit.

Time 1h13m

Yield 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1 1/2 cups butter
1 cup sugar
1 (3 ounce) package jell-o gelatin, any flavor
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
additional Jello gelatin, to sprinkle with (or other cookie decorations)

Steps:

  • Sift flour with baking powder.
  • Cream butter.
  • Gradually add sugar and gelatin, cream well after each addition.
  • Add egg and vanilla; beat well.
  • Gradually add flour mixture, mixing after each addition until smooth.
  • Use cookie press to process dough, droping onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Sprinkle with Jell-o or decorate as desired.
  • Bake at 400 degrees, about 13 or 14 minutes, or until golden brown at edges.
  • This can vary depending on your oven, in mine these will be done in about 6-8 minutes- to be sure keep an eye on the first sheet to go in so they don't burn.
  • Store in loosely covered container.
  • Makes about 5 dozen cookies.

I'm not a huge fan of Jell-O, but these cookies were still really good.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out in the oven. I think I might have used too much flour.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
