How to Make Jello Cookies W Frosting

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. **Cookies:** In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 (3 oz) package of Jello (any flavor) to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in ½ cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown. The centers will still be soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. **Frosting:** While cookies cool, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together ½ cup (1 stick) softened margarine and 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth.
  11. Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons milk, mixing until desired consistency is reached. Add more powdered sugar if needed to thicken.
  12. Once the cookies are completely cool, frost generously and enjoy!
