Pastel Jello Cookies

These are a childhood favorite. Mom used to make them around every holiday with us in a different flavor with different holiday cookie cutters. I still absolutely love them. We were making orange pumpkins today although my favorite are pink hearts in February and green shamrocks in March. Hope you enjoy the kid friendly recipe!

Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups butter (softened)
1 cup sugar
1 pkg jell0
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

Directions:
- Mix butter, sugar, and jello. Beat well.
- Add egg and vanilla.
- Add rest of ingredients and mix well.
- Chill dough.
- Roll out to about 1/8 inch thick and cut with your favorite cookie cutters.
- Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes.

Tips:
- Don't over bake these. They don't spread, rise, or brown much-- so be careful not to overcook them. They are much better a little undercooked than overcooked. Bake time depends a lot on your oven.
