Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened Jell-O mix (any flavor)
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, blending until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, Jell-O mix, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
If the dough feels too stiff, add the milk, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches a consistency that is easy to press through a cookie press.
Spoon the dough into a cookie press fitted with the disc of your choice. Press the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just starting to turn light golden brown. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
