Jello Cookies

  I made this recipe with two little helpers 

You might have seen my moms blog about it but here is the recipe

These cookies are really easy and turn out soft and really sweet

I have a list of things that I want to blog about this summer and picked this one so the twins could help

Ingredients

• 3.5 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1.5 cups salted butter softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 4 (3 oz) pkg jello You can use any flavors you want

Instructions

1. Beat butter in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Blend in egg and vanilla. Mix flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Gradually beat in flour mixture.
2. Divide dough into 4 sections. Sprinkle 2 Tb of jello onto each section. Knead together with dough. You may want to add a few drops of food coloring to make the dough more vibrant.
3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in the extra jello from the packets. Place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets. Flatten with bottom of bowl.
4. Bake 8 to 10 min at 350 on lined baking sheets. Cool on baking sheets 2 min. Remove to wire racks and cool completely.

We had 4 different boxes of Jello so I let the boys pick 2 each 

We made strawberry, pineapple, orange and lemon 

I didn't use all the Jello so I put it  in bags so I could make these again

The dough doesn't stain your fingers and can be used as play dough also

They were really good cookies but the strawberry and pineapple were very sweet but of course you can use any flavor 

Here are my little helpers with the final product 

Neither of them are looking at the camera;)
