3/4 C melted shortening, cooled (may use part softened butter, instead)
1/2 C sugar
1 t vanilla
1, 3 oz pkg fruit flavored Jello ( I like strawberry-banana best)
2 eggs
2 1/2 C flour
1 t baking powder
1 t salt |
Melt shortening, let cool slightly
Add jello, sugar, eggs and vanilla, blending thoroughly.
Blend in dry ingredients, gradually.
Roll into 3/4 inch balls.
Place 3 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
If desired, flatten with the bottom of a glass or cookie "stamp" that's been dipped in sugar.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 6-8 minutes.
Makes 5-6 dozen. |
