This was good, but the next time I make it I will use sugar free JellO, it was to sweet with the regular JellO.

I made these for Christmas and everyone was talking about them. They were all suprised how easy they were to make not to mention how yummy they were. I'm making them for Valentine's Day this weekend :)

My 7 yr old and I made these at Christmas, I might have done something wrong, but they were hard, and not very flavorful.

I like how easy this recipe is. Cherry flavored gelatin gives the best flavor. I used grape flavored Jello and the results were just OK. My kids like the fact that I can make these cookies in almost any color of the rainbow. In fact, I might just make a rainbow of these cookies for St. Patrick's Day.

These cookies were okay. I made the strawberry flavor. I liked them because they were pretty quick and easy, however not the greatest flavor.

I made these cookies using lime flavored jello. I thought they were good. My pre-schooler enjoyed helping flatten the cookies.

The strawberry cookies were a little bland, but the lime cookies tasted pretty good. A little vanilla flavoring would probably make it more flavorful. I will try these again at Easter with some different colors.
