Servings: 48 Cookies
Ingredients
- 1½ cups unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 3 oz. boxes Jell-o powder
- 48 white melting discs
- 192 white baking chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and line cookie trays with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1½ cups unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- In a small bowl, stir together 3¼ cup all-purpose flour, 1½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.
- Divide the dough into 4 parts and place in 4 bowls. Add 2 Tablespoons of Jell-O powder to each portion of dough. Knead the dough until the powder is incorporated.
- Scoop 1 Tablespoon of dough. Roll into the corresponding color of Jell-O powder, then place on the lined cookie sheet. Continue to make balls of dough, spacing two inches apart on the cookie tray.
- Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass or measuring cup.
- Bake 8-10 minutes or until puffy but set looking.
- Quickly place one melting disc and 4 white baking chips on each cookie to resemble a paw print. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- You can make all of the cookies one flavor if you would like, just grab a 6 ounce box of whatever Jello flavor you would like. Just add ½ cup of powder to the whole batch of dough.
- Or make 2 colors with two 3 ounce boxes. Add ¼ cup of the powder to each half of the dough.
