Ingredients

  • 17.5 ounce package store-bought sugar cookie mix I used Pillsbury
  • 1 stick unsalted butter softened (1/2 cup)
  • 1 large egg
  • 12 Tablespoons Jello powder 3 tablespoons each of cherry, lime, berry blue, and lemon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
  • Mix the sugar cookie mix, softened butter, and egg in a large bowl until a smooth dough forms.
  • Divide the dough evenly into four portions and place each portion in a separate bowl.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of Jello powder to each portion (one flavor per bowl) and knead the dough until the powder is fully mixed in and the color is evenly distributed.
  • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball, and then coat it thoroughly in granulated sugar. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the sugar-coated cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the bottom of a glass. Once flattened, refrigerate the baking sheets with the dough for at least 30 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape during baking.
  • Bake the chilled cookie dough in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear soft.
  • Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
