Great recipe - though it originally was printed on boxes of Jello brand gelatin in the 1970s

For those who felt the cookie was too dry, start off with 2 cups of flour and gradually add remaining flour as needed. Sometimes the eggs are larger and require more flour, sometimes the dough requires less flour. I made these two times this season and never needed to use the entire 2 1/2 cups flour.

Jello cookies are the best, I've made them for years and get asked for more every year. The only difference with my version is I only use 1 cup butter and 2 3oz packages of Jello. They are beautiful for Christmas and with less butter they don't spread as much. I think it makes them easier to use in the cookie press as well. You can substitute Splenda for the sugar with good results. Margarine can also be used, but it tastes better with butter.

This is a great and EASY recipe. These cookies just melt in your mouth. I used this recipe in my cookie press and they turned out perfect. This was my first time using the cookie press successfully as with previous recipes I've used, the dough was too hard. I tried it with blue raspberry gelatin since I wanted blue snowflakes. I did need to add a few drops of color to get them the right shade, though. The gelatin gave it a neat flavor and my hubby and two year old can't keep their hands off them!

These were the perfect consistency for my press. We made green wreaths & trees for Christmas. Nice lemon-lime tang from the jello, setting these apart from the rest of our baking this year. Thank you for posting, Kathy!

Sorry, these cookies were not for me. The dough came together fine but the color was really unappealing. I used black cherry jello and while a different flavor of jello might give better color, the dough and the baked cookies had a very strange, artificial fruit aftertaste. I used regular jello, not sugar free so the aftertaste wasn't from a sugar substitute. I only baked one tray of these and then threw the rest of the dough away. I wouldn't serve these to guests and I didn't want to eat them myself either.
