I have not tried these myself yet. By request of a family member these will be included in my cookie trays this Christmas. Nutritional info would not compute for one cookie. So I used 4 per person as a random number. Giving you 21 servings. They're easy, festive and delightfully different— always a big hit at potlucks and luncheons.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups butter, softened (no substitutes)
1 cup sugar
1 (3 ounce) package lime gelatin
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
red and green colored sugar sprinkle (optional)
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar and gelatin.
2. Beat in egg and vanilla.
3. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add to the creamed mixture.
4. Using a cookie press fitted with the disk of your choice, press dough into desired shapes 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
5. Sprinkle with colored sugar if desired. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool.
