Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and Jello powder until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and bottoms are lightly golden.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

You can use different flavors of Jello to create a variety of colors and tastes.
Add a few drops of food coloring for a more vibrant appearance.
Do not overbake; cookies will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
