Description
These playful, colorful cookies are soft and chewy, with a nostalgic flavor that brings joy to any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (cold for better texture)
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 3 ounces Jello Gelatin Powder
- 1/4 cup Additional Sugar (colored optional)
- A little extra vanilla if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the cold butter and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy.
- Beat in the egg and Jello gelatin powder until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding until a pliable dough forms.
- Scoop the dough into balls, roll in additional sugar, and flatten slightly.
- Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until the edges begin to turn golden. Let cool before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For a vegan option, consider using a flax egg. These cookies freeze well; shape into balls and freeze, adding extra time if baking from frozen.
