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.
