Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 packet (3 ounces) Gelatin powder (flavored or unflavored)
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 0.25 cups Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the wet mixture and mix until fully incorporated. The dough will start to take on the color and scent of the gelatin flavor.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. If the dough feels dry, add 1 tablespoon of milk to bring it together.
Optional: Fold in sprinkles to add a pop of color and texture.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press down on each dough ball to slightly flatten it for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops of the cookies appear slightly puffy.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Wiggly Cookies as a fun, unique dessert or snack!
