These were really easy to make.
They would be a fun addition to your 4th of July party.
You don’t have to cut them out as stars, but it makes it more festive.
Original Recipe From Kraft
What You Need:
3.5 cups flour
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1.5 cups salted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 pkg. (3 oz. each) JELL-O Cherry (or strawberry etc.) Flavor Gelatin, divided
1egg
1tsp. vanilla
Make It:
HEAT oven to 400°F.
MIX flour and baking powder. Beat butter in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Add sugar and 1 pkg. gelatin; beat until light and fluffy. Blend in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture.
SHAPE dough into 1-inch balls. Place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets. Flatten with bottom of glass. Sprinkle with remaining dry gelatin mix.
Or
KNEAD the dough and roll it out to cut out shapes. You may need a little bit more flour if you choose to do it this way.
BAKE 8 to 10 min. or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets 3 min. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
For best results, use the same flavor of JELL-O Gelatin for both the cookie dough and sprinkling on top.
Enjoy!
