Time 27m

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup (1 stick) salted butter ( melted)

  • Separate the cookie dough evenly into four small mixing bowls.
  • To each bowl, knead in 3 Tablespoons of each color of flavored gelatin. You should have four different colored doughs when you finish. (I found it was easier to use my hands for this part)
  • Place the sugar in a shallow bowl, you will be rolling your cookies in it as you prepare them.
  • Scoop out the cookies using a 2 Tablespoon cookie scoop and roll them into balls. Roll them in the sugar until completely covered.
