Jello Cookies

I'm just going to come out and say it: these are the funnest cookies to make! I had so much fun making these cookies and trying the different flavors. Despite telling Cati multiple times the cookies were for my sister's baby shower, it was really hard to get Cati to show some restraint when she knew jello and fun colors were involved. The best part is that the cookies actually taste like the flavor you use. I made three colors (berry blast, raspberry, and grape) instead of four and simply added 1/2 Tbsp of jello to each dough section. The only flavor I had to add coloring to was the grape flavor. Seriously though, and especially if you have kids, make these cookies!
