• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg

The kids love to help and have a blast choosing what flavor jello to use.

How to make sugar cookies flavored with Jell-o:

All you do is prepare the batter like you would with normal cookies. Once that is complete you will separate them into 4 bowls (if you have 4 different colors).

Then you are going to pour in the jello package into each bowl. Start kneading the jello into the batter and you will start to see them change colors.

Once all the Jello is mixed in you will then form them into balls, roll them into the left over jello powder, place them on a cookies sheet, and flatten with a glass.

Again… the kids had a blast helping with this part.

Bake and enjoy!

They are really that simple. 🙂
