Ingredients

Scale

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 packages (3 oz each) Jello (choose your favorite flavors/colors)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix well.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients.
Divide the dough into portions for each Jello flavor you wish to use; mix one package of Jello powder into each portion until evenly colored.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly with a glass bottom.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft; cool on wire racks.
