These cookies are very simple to make and don’t have any added coloring. All of that color comes from the Jell-O mix. You could try different flavors, for this one I used strawberry! The raspberry or orange Jell-O mix would make some delicious cookies using this same base recipe and just switching out the flavor of the Jell-O. The rest of the ingredients are pretty standard cookie stuff – flour, sugar, butter, etc.
These cookies bake at a slightly higher temperature than most cookies. They are baked at 400 degrees F instead of a typical 350 degree F oven. They also can burn very quickly if you aren’t keeping an eye on them. One minute they will be under baked and the next they could be burned. I baked the batches all at about 6-8 minutes, but start checking yours at 6 minutes and every minute after that to ensure they cook don’t burn. The variance in time depends on the sizes of your cookies. I used a standard cookie scoop which helps to take out the guessing. As a last touch, I added coconut to these cookies which give a great flavor and add a unique twist. However, you could switch out the coconut for something else like white chocolate chips if you don’t love coconut. And a nice finishing touch would be to stack the cookies and tie a ribbon around them to give to mom! Enjoy 🙂
