Jello Spritz Cookies

This is another fun spritz cookie recipe.  Despite the name, I found that my cookies were not bursting with Jello flavor. They were colorful and easy to make.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 small box of Jell-O, any flavor
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
Food coloring
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
colored sprinkles


Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Cream together the butter and sugar until smooth, and add in the Jell-O powder. Add in the egg and vanilla, continuing to cream until smooth.

At this point, you can add in a few drops of food coloring, it brightens up the color of the cookies. This is not necessary, but it is prettier :)

Slowly add in the baking powder and the flour, until all ingredients are well combined.

Load the cookie press, and press out your cookies. Bake these cookies 6-10 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, because they are done when they no longer look wet, but are easily over baked.  When over baked they lose their bright color and turn brown- then they are super crispy and ugly, and won't look good on your table.

Bake the
