Funfetti Jello Cookies
We've always kept sugar-free gelatin in the pantry for a fast easy snack that is low in calories. A few years ago, our friend Emilee made these funfetti cookies for us and shared the recipe giving us a completely new spin on cookies! They are pretty simple to make, and they are fun to play with flavor combinations! For hers, she used a gelatin without red dye since her daughter has allergies. For ours, we use whatever flavor we have on hand, but our favorites are citrus flavors.
Ingredients for Jello Cookies
2 ½ cups flour
1 cup Splenda (zero calorie sweetener)
½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup butter
2 eggs
1 packet sugar-free gelatin (flavor of choice)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sprinkles
Directions for Jello Cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 2-3 cookie sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together butter, eggs, yogurt, vanilla extract, and Splenda until smooth.
Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and gelatin powder into the bowl.
Stir until dough begins to form and then add in sprinkles.
Drop by spoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until preferred doneness (we like chewy cookies).
