Jello cookies are quick and easy to make and the perfect cookies to make bake with kids. They only need 4 simple ingredients plus jello mix.

Ingredients

  • 1 17.5 ounce bag snickerdoodle cookie mix ((you will not be using the cinnamon-sugar package for this recipe))
  • ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter ( melted)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp red flavored gelatin powder ((about ½ of a 3 ounce package))
  • 3 tbsp blue flavored gelatin powder ((about ½ of a 3 ounce package))
  • 3 tbsp green flavored gelatin powder ((about ½ of a 3 ounce package))
  • 3 tbsp yellow flavored gelatin powder ((about ½ of a 3 ounce package))
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, stir together the cookie mix, melted butter, and egg until fully combined.

  3. 3

    Separate the cookie dough evenly into four small mixing bowls.

  4. 4

    To each bowl, knead in 3 Tablespoons of each color of flavored gelatin. You should have four different colored doughs when you finish. (I found it was easier to use my hands for this part)

  5. 5

    Place the sugar in a shallow bowl, you will be rolling your cookies in it as you prepare them.

  6. 6

    Scoop out the cookies using a 2 Tablespoon cookie scoop and roll them into balls. Roll them in the sugar until completely covered.

  7. 7

    Place the balls on the prepared sheet pan with 2 inches between each cookie. Bake in the oven for 10-13 minutes or until the tops of the cookies get firm to the touch. You may begin to see a golden color on the tops of the cookies, if so take them out so that they don’t overcook.

  8. 8

    Let cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes and enjoy warm or cooled!
