The cookies in the pictures below didn’t do the cookies justice, once I took a bite of these Jello cookies, there was no turning back. At first, I was a little skeptical about trying these cookies, because I’m not a big fan of gelatin jello, but I never refuse to try something new.
Tips and Tricks for Making These Jello Cookies:
- Make sure to sift the powdered sugar because if you don’t, you are going to have lumpy cookie dough.
- Use a stand mixer when kneading a larger batch of Jello Cookies dough.
- Melt the butter completely so that it will incorporate well into the cookie dough.

Frequently Asked Questions for the Jello Cookies Recipe:
Q: How do you store Jello Cookies Cookies?
A: After cooling them completely, keep them in an airtight container to keep them fresh longer.
Q: How can I keep my cookies from spreading too much?
A: You can leave them as cookie balls before you bake them. In that way, the spread of the cookie will not be as much compared to when you flatten the dough.
Q: Can I double the recipe?
A: Yes for sure! You might want to use a stand mixer when you are doing a larger batch of cookies.

I left mine round but they went SUPER flat anyway. Any suggestions?
Hi there jamie! Oh, sorry about that. Did you put the exact amount of butter? Sometimes too much of the fat content can cause the cookies to deflate.
