Jell-O Cookies
I must admit, that I have a bit of a problem with stocking up my pantry. When something goes on sale and it’s something we use, I buy lots of it! And such was the case with Jell-O recently. Not that we truly love Jell-O, but it was on sale, so I stocked up. But the problem was that those little slippery boxes flew out of the pantry every time I opened it up and it was beginning to get on my nerves.
So when I found this recipe, I knew exactly how to use up some of the boxes and one flavor was better then the next. Plus, they were kindda pretty and fun for Easter…
Jell-O Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter-at room temperature
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 (3 ounce) box Jell-O
- 2 large eggs-at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cream the butter, shortening, sugar and Jell-O. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat on medium speed until well mixed. On low, mix in the flour, salt and baking powder. Mix well.
Roll the dough into 1" to 1 1/2" balls (I used a small cookie scoop) and then roll in a bowl of sugar, completely covering the exterior of the dough. Place on a lined baking sheet about 2" apart. Using a flat-bottomed glass, press the dough to about 3/8" thickness. Sprinkle the top with a complimentary sanding sugar.
Bake for 6 minutes. Cool on a rack. Store in an air-tight container.
