How to Make Holiday Sparkle Cookies

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 1 (3 ounce) package of lime-flavored Jell-O until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Flatten each ball using a cookie press (for festive shapes) or the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
  6. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until edges are just lightly golden. Do not overbake!
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
