How to Make Fruity Spritz Cookies Made With Jell O

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the dissolved Jell-O powder until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Fill a cookie press with the dough. If the dough is too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  8. Press the dough onto ungreased baking sheets, creating desired shapes and sizes.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
