Have you ever made jello cookies? I was looking for a simple cookie recipe that I could make with things I have in the house, and I came across jello cookies. You actually use one pack of jello to flavor/color your cookies. I have decided to give it a try with a pack of orange jello that has been around the house a while. Hope it tastes as good as it sounds right now. (if it shows up the cookie picture comes from Morguefile. They may or may not be jello cookies)

Do you have to keep them in the fridge after you make them? I think that I'll need to do a search on them, they sound like they might be nice and light.

No. They jello gives color and flavor but you use it in the powder form not the gel form, so no need to fridge after baking.

A lot like sugar cookies. But they are orange colored. Not a lot of orange flavor though

I didn't know that you could make jello cookies. I think that I will have to see if I can find a recipe to use. Have no idea how to do the swirling part but it will still be fun to try to figure it out!!

I've done cookies that use pudding mix, but I don't think I've ever made Jello cookies. Tell us how they turn out!

@nonersays Too bad! The ones with pudding turn out well. We used to have a recipe for "booger cookies" that was made with pistachio pudding mix and green food colouring. It came from a novel one of the girls had, but I'm sure it can be found online.

No, I have never even heard of jello flavor/color cookies. Do let us know how they turn out.
