Cupids Raspberry Jell O Cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the raspberry Jell-O powder to the butter mixture and beat until well combined and the color is evenly distributed.

4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.

5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

6. Shape the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and roll each ball in additional granulated sugar until coated.

7. Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Using the bottom of a glass, gently flatten each cookie to about 1/4 inch thickness.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.

10. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Once cooled, you can enjoy these delightful Cupid's Raspberry Jell-O Cookies with a cup of tea or a glass of milk. These cookies also make a wonderful gift for loved ones or a charming addition to any gathering.
