Print Recipe

Bright, pillowy soft, and delightfully chewy cookies with fruity Jell-O colors, perfect for spring gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons Jell-O powder (any flavor, preferably pastel colors)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Set the dry mix aside.
  3. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fluffy and well combined. Scrape the bowl sides as needed.
  5. Add the dry ingredients gradually to the butter mixture until just combined.
  6. Stir in the Jell-O powder until the dough is evenly colored.
  7. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and coat each ball in powdered sugar.
  8. Place the coated cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, avoid overmixing the dough and make sure to cool cookies as instructed.
