Brighten holidays with these soft & chewy Jello Sugar Cookies! Experience vibrant colors and tender sweetness, crafted with butter and sugar. Full instructions and nutritional data available.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 3 (3 oz) boxes flavored Jell-O powder (various colors like cherry, lime, blue raspberry)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, then set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the large egg and vanilla bean paste until fully incorporated.
  3. Step 3: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined and a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
  4. Step 4: Divide the cookie dough into three equal portions. Into each portion, thoroughly mix one 3 oz box of different flavored Jell-O powder until the color is vibrant and evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Step 5: Roll each colored dough into 1-inch balls, then gently flatten them slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm. Place the flattened cookies about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and set, but the centers still appear soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Keep these colorful cookies soft and fresh for up to 5 days by storing them in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • If your cookies have firmed up a bit, pop one in the microwave for 5-10 seconds for that fresh-baked, soft-and-chewy texture again.
  • Serve these vibrant, chewy cookies alongside a glass of cold milk, hot cocoa, or even with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra festive dessert.
  • For the most vibrant colors and consistent flavor, thoroughly mix each Jell-O powder into its dough portion until no streaks remain, taking care not to overmix the overall dough for maximum tenderness.
