Tips:

  • Use fresh Jell-O. Stale or old Jell-O can result in cookies that are dry and crumbly.
  • Do not overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will result in tough cookies.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaked cookies will be soft and gooey, while overbaked cookies will be hard and dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from running off the cookies.

Conclusion:

Jell-O cookies are a fun and easy way to add a pop of color and flavor to your next party or gathering. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create delicious and festive cookies that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give Jell-O cookies a try!
