JELL-O Cookie Gems

Tried this new this season amongst other previously made cookies but these were the biggest hit!! Nice and chewy. I used strawberry jello.

Cookies came out great. Everyone loved them. I didn't substitute anything. I followed the recipe to the T. The raspberry jello was delicious. The cookies were soft and chewy. I would definitely make them again.

So, I read the reviews first and then decided to start with one batch. It did not turn out well. After 9 minutes, they did not get flatter, as in the picture, and then after cooling were hard as a rock. Batch number two, I flattened them with a fork as you would for peanut butter cookies. I only baked for SIX minutes, cooled on the cookie sheet for five minutes, and then moved to a wire rack to cool for fifteen minutes. The second batch was much better. I would recommend using less sugar though. Perhaps only 1/2 to 3/4 cup. They are very sweet and I didn't even add the powdered sugar to them.

I was disappointed that the cookies came out hard. I was hoping for a softer cookie.

I had a great experience with this recipe...I used airbake cookie sheets and baked for exactly 9 minutes. With cherry jello the cookies were very light, fluffy and I got lots of compliments. I made a huge batch for a cookie exchange and it was very easy.

I loved this! I used strawberry jello mix and it was great. Even the batter tasted great! I loved the color and I used stoneware when I cooked these. I would highly recommend using this for parties. I used all of the correct ingredients and thought they would turn out like the other reviews but they didn't! They were delicious!

Substituted Splenda for the sugar; everything else remained the same. Cookies did not spread out - stayed in dough balls and were tasteless.

I don't think these turned out well at all. The cookies stayed in a ball shape, and got too brown on the bottom before even fully cooked. I was really disappointed in the recipe, won't make again, and will probably throw most of these away.

The jello makes these cookies an amazingly bright color. (I used cherry.) The jello flavor is subtle, adding just a hint of it's flavor. I found the 1" ball to make a very small cookie so made the next batches a bit larger. Quick and easy to put together. Don't overcook. They shouldn't get brown. I baked on stoneware and they were perfect. Overall good flavor and really cute when color is needed, like for holidays.
