Preparation Time	15-20 minutes
Cooking Time	10-13 minutes
Total Time	25-33 minutes
Level of Difficulty	Easy

Ingredients

• 1 pkg snickerdoodle cookie mix (without cinnamon-sugar packet)
• 3 tbsp blue gelatin powder
• 3 tbsp yellow gelatin powder
• 3 tbsp green gelatin powder
• 3 tbsp red gelatin powder (such as Jell-O brand, for vibrant color)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
• 1 cup white sugar (for rolling the cookies)
• 1 large egg

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Sheet Pan

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

While the oven is heating up, prepare a sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup easier.

Step 2: Mix the Cookie Dough

In a large bowl, combine the cookie mix, melted butter, and egg.

Stir until the ingredients are fully combined, forming a smooth dough.

Step 3: Divide and Color the Dough

Separate the cookie dough evenly into four small mixing bowls.

To each bowl, knead in 3 tablespoons of a different color of flavored gelatin.

Use your hands for this step to evenly distribute the color.

By the end, you should have four separate bowls of different colored dough.

Step 4: Form and Coat the Cookie Balls

Place some sugar in a shallow bowl.

Scoop out dough using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop and roll each portion into a ball.

Then roll each ball in the sugar until it is completely coated.

Step 5: Bake the Cookies

Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared sheet pan, ensuring there is approximately 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes or until the tops of the cookies are firm to the touch.

If you notice the tops starting to turn golden, remove them to avoid overcooking.

Step 6: Cool and Enjoy

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your colorful, flavorful cookies either warm or cooled!
