Ingredients
Scale
- 226 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 5 milliliters vanilla extract
- 280 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 grams baking soda
- 2 grams baking powder
- 1 gram fine salt
- 4 packets (85 grams each) flavored jelly powder, assorted colors (e.g., strawberry, orange, lime, grape)
- 50 grams granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C. Line two baking trays with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, approximately 3–4 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, beating until thoroughly incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a smooth dough forms.
- Divide the dough evenly into four portions. Add a different flavor of jelly powder to each portion and knead until the color is uniform.
- Portion each colored dough into 2.5 cm diameter balls using a spoon or scoop for uniformity.
- Roll each dough ball in granulated sugar until fully coated for a crisp exterior.
- Place coated dough balls on prepared trays, spacing them 5 cm apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Remove from oven while centers are still soft for optimal texture.
- Allow cookies to cool on trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Experiment with different jello flavors for unique color and taste combinations.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
- These cookies are great for parties and celebrations.
