Fruity Spritz Cookies made with Jell-O

I just made these for our annual Christmas cookie making that we do for gifts. I made the mistake of using 3/4 Cup of powdered sugar (I was reading another recipe oops), so I added 3/4 Cup of white sugar not knowing how it turn out as well as another 1/4 cup of flour. I also chilled the dough for about 10 minutes. They ended up turning out very well. I used the lime jello to make green christmas trees and they were delicious. I will try this with a cherry or something for the red. My kids loved them too! I will definitely be making these every year from now on!

These came out pretty good. The dough was a little too stiff for my SuperShooter, but I'm sure with a manual cookie press they would be fine. I used orange jello and the color didn't really show up at all. You can taste a very light orange flavor and this is a nice change. I'd like to try these again with a red flavor to see how they come out. Thanks!

I had high hopes for these, since I'd had them when I was young. I used cherry Jell-O with almond flavoring. The dough tasted great, but when these cooked, the flavor was minimal. I used a manual press and could not get them to stick to the pan (yes, that was me), so I cut 1/4" coins. The first batch charred to a crisp after 8 minutes; I lowered the temp to 375 and cooked for 5 minutes and they came out okay. This recipe makes a ton of cookies; I still have dough left.

This recipe did what I needed-- gave me good, red cookies for Christmas trays. Done in 5-7 minutes (yes, I burnt the first pan even with all the warnings given in other reviews). I used Cherry jello and the flavor was stronger than I thought- but still good. Need to refrigerate the dough between putting batches in the oven- mine got too soft and the last pans had much bigger cookies (oozed out of the press).
