Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 17.5 ounces (496 grams) snickerdoodle cookie mix
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) salted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
Jello Powders:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) red jello powder
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) blue jello powder
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) green jello powder
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) yellow jello powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal non-stick performance.
- Thoroughly blend the cookie mix with melted butter and egg until a uniform dough forms.
- Evenly distribute the mixed dough into four separate mixing containers.
- Vigorously incorporate different jello powder flavors into each dough portion, ensuring consistent color and taste throughout.
- Create uniform cookie portions by scooping approximately two tablespoons of flavored dough and gently rolling each ball in granulated sugar.
- Position cookies on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining adequate spacing between each piece to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, monitoring until cookie tops appear set and edges develop a slight golden hue.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes, facilitating a gentle cooling process and preventing potential crumbling.
- Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack to complete the cooling process and achieve the ideal texture.
Notes
- Experiment with various jello flavors to create unique color and taste combinations that match seasonal themes or personal preferences.
- Chill dough for 15-20 minutes before rolling to prevent sticking and make shaping easier, ensuring more uniform cookies.
- Substitute gluten-free cookie mix for a celiac-friendly version, maintaining the vibrant color and fun texture of these playful treats.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, keeping them soft and preserving their bright jello-infused colors.
