# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine the snickerdoodle cookie mix, melted butter, and egg. Stir until fully incorporated.
03 -
Divide the cookie dough evenly into four small bowls. Knead 3 tablespoons of each flavored gelatin (red, blue, green, yellow) into separate bowls to create four different colored doughs. Use hands for best results.
04 -
Place the granulated sugar in a shallow bowl to roll the cookie dough balls.
05 -
Scoop out 2-tablespoon portions of dough, roll into balls, and coat evenly in sugar.
06 -
Place coated cookie balls on the prepared sheet pan, leaving 2 inches between them. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until cookie tops are firm and slightly golden. Remove immediately to avoid overcooking.
07 -
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
# Notes:
01 -
For more vivid colors, use concentrated gelatin powder and ensure even kneading.
02 -
Cookies are best enjoyed on the day of baking but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
