COLORFUL CANDY BAR COOKIES
No one will guess these sweet treats with the candy bar center start with store-bought dough. Roll them in colored sugar or just dip the tops for even faster assembly. Instead of using miniature candy bars for the centers, you can also slice regular-size Snickers candy bars into 1-inch pieces. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen

COLORFUL COOKIES
When I saw this recipe in a Betty Crocker cookbook I was somewhat skeptical, but when I found a box of orange jello in my cupboard (I usually don't buy it and couldn't remember what I had it for) I decided to give it a try,. I was quite surprised and pleased with the results. I decided to top them and make orange coconut cookies, and not only did they taste nice and buttery (I used butter), the icing and coconut made them look quite pretty and very festive for the holidays. You can use any flavor jello you like (the reason I guess they are called "colorful") and any topping -- coconut, sprinkles, chiopped nuts, candied cherries, colored sugar -- the sky's the limit. I made them with orange jello, and dipped them right after icing into coconut.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Remove 1 tablespoon of the gelatin powder and set aside to use for the icing later on.
- Put the remainder of the gelatin powder in a large bowl with the butter and powdered sugar. Cream well.

- Shape the dough into 3/4 inch to 1 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies, until the edges just begin to slightly brown.
- Remove from the oven, let sit on the cookie sheet for a minute or so, then remove cookies to a rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the icing by dissolving the reserved 1 tablespoon of gelatin powder in the 3 tablespoons of hot water in a bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, then add the vanilla and stir in the 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth.
- Dip the tops of the cookies into the icing, then either dip in the topping of your choice or place back on the rack and sprinkle with your topping and let dry completely.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your cookies turn out delicious and flavorful. Look for organic, unbleached flour, real butter, and pure vanilla extract.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The temperature will vary depending on the recipe, but most cookies bake at around 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are set around the edges and the tops are no longer shiny.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.
