Valentine Jello Cookies…

Following is a guest post by Angela at Angela’s Adventures… enjoy!!

This year, I’ve been extra excited about Valentine’s Day. I think my view of the holiday has changed. Instead of seeing it as one day where we’re expected to celebrate the people we love, I’m seeing it as a season of choosing to celebrate the people we love.

Around our house, we have a few Valentine’s decorations up and for the next few weeks, I’m planning on intentionally focusing in on showering my children with a little extra love, encouraging them to show love towards others and of course, trying to be more intentional about showing my husband love.

Yesterday, the kids and I made a batch of these Valentine Jello Cookies. A batch of these cookies is on the smaller side, perfect for a few snacks with your kids and a couple days worth of sneaking into your hubby’s lunch box.

Print  Recipe

• 1 3/4 cup flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 6oz package Jello mix (any flavor you like)
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla

In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and Jello mix and then set aside. In a medium sized bowl, beat butter and sugar together until creamy. Beat in the egg and the vanilla. Gradually blend in flour mixture.

Chill dough for at least a half hour and then roll out with floured rolling pin, on a generously floured surface. Dough will be on the sticky side so, adding extra flour might be necessary.

Cut the dough with cookie cutters and then place cookies on an un-greased cookie sheet.

Bake in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 5-7 minutes, or until edges barely brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes and then transfer to wire rack to completely cool.

Yield: Approx. 2 dozen small heart shaped cookies.
