Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 package (3 ounces) Jello powder (any flavor)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and Jello powder.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition. The dough should come together and be slightly sticky.
6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Flatten each portion of dough with the bottom of a glass, dipped in granulated sugar to prevent sticking. You can also shape the dough into balls and flatten with a fork for a crisscross pattern.
8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
