Committees
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
-1 cup sugar
-2 packages (4 serving size each) Jell-O, any flavor, divided
-1 egg
-1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix flour and baking powder, set aside. Beat butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add sugar and one package of dry gelatin, beaating until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until well blended after each addition.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with bottom of clean glass. Sprinkle remaining dry gelatin.
Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from baking sheets to wire racks. Cool completely.
For best results, use the same flavor Jell-O for both the cookie dough and for sprinkling on top.
