Jello cookies

I was reading a blog today that posted a recipe for Jello cookies. So of course I had to try it. Everybody knows we love cookies, and how many kids do not like jello? I have so much jello in my pantry that I was willing to go ahead and possibly "waste" a box to try this out.

The Verdict: They were OK. I wouldn't write home to momma about them, but they were kinda good. We used strawberry jello, so they had a hint of strawberry flavoring. They were like sugar cookies with strawberry flavoring. Now, we make some great sugar cookies, if I may say so myself, so we are a little bias. These were bland sugar cookies. My opinion, try them out yourself, because like I said, we make some great sugar cookies and these were not OUR sugar cookies.



Here's the recipe:



3/4 cup butter or margarine (we used margarine, I am cheap)

1/2 cup sugar

1 pkg jello

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt



Cream the first four ingredients. Add the other ingredients, adding the flour last. Mix. Roll spoonfuls of dough in sugar and bake on a cookie sheet for 6-8 minutes at 350 degrees F.



I am sure this recipe could be tweaked to taste better. Maybe someone would like to give it a try.



There was one plus, they were pink, so Mikaela thought they were great. The kids ate them, but each of them only ate 2 each, so that was a clear indication that they weren't amazing.
