4 stars for easiness and kid-friendly recipe, 3 stars for taste. I will make these again for a kid audience, but have better recipes for adults palettes. I substituted butter for the shortening, and it worked well. Used strawberry jello this time. Like another reviewer, I would like to make more colors when I have more time.

Very simple recipe. Used Splenda instead of sugar and made with strawberry jello. Decorated them for Christmas. My eldest said he could taste the salt but I like a cookie that is not too sweet and it must not have bothered him by the amount he ate. Youngest went nuts over them. If I would have had time, I would have made a batch with Lime jello which would have been very pretty next to the strawberry. Oh well, next time. _____________________________________ 12/19 Just wanted to add a note. We enjoyed these fresh from the oven the day they were made but nobody would eat them after a day or two of them sitting. The jello taste was so strong and fake tasting that they did not go over well.

These are pretty good. Definitely 4star for easiness and speed. Flavor 3 1/2 to 4star. These are cookies with kid appeal and would be sweet in a variety of colors. I made red and green for christmas and they will look cute with the other cookies I am serving. I think the flavor would be better if you added in some butter in place of some of the shortening.

Some of the coolest Christmas cookies ever! I usually make one batch of strawberry or raspberry and one of lime, so you have red and green! Everyone loves them.

I used Cherry Jell-O and sprinkled with multi-colored Betty Crocker Party Sugar instead. I got lots of requests for the recipe at work. They weren't too sweet, a little salty (which I like)and the cherry flavor jell-o added a familar taste to the cookies, but people could not guess what it was. Definately will make again!

The taste of these cookies is surprising! Really delicious. I made them for my daughter's class in their school colors using grape and lemon jello. The kids loved them.
