Directions

1 In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, vanilla, gelatin and egg with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. On low speed, beat in flour.
2 Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
3 Heat oven to 375°F. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls about 2 inches apart. With sharp knife, make 6 cuts in top of each ball about three-fourths of the way through to make 6 wedges. Spread wedges apart slightly to form flower petals (cookies will separate and flatten as they bake). Sprinkle about 1/8 teaspoon yellow candy sprinkles into center of each cookie.
4 Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until set and edges begin to brown. Cool 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

During the holidays, time can be the greatest gift. Why not get together with a few friends and host a cookie exchange? This is a great recipe to share.

For a flavor twist, use strawberry-, cranberry- or cherry-flavored gelatin instead of the raspberry.

I wish you would have a video on how to cut the dough to look like the picture you show. It would simply a lot of mistakes. My did not even come close to looking like the picture shown.

Love these cookies. I have found a shortcut on cutting them. Make the balls, refrigerate them and cut them with an egg slicer. Saved a lot of time.

I tried these and my family went NUTS for them! I didn't care for how hard they got though :( I will be adjusting the cooking time to fix that problem to my satisfaction. I did call into the help line and asked if you can substitute sugar free Jello and how you would change the recipe to reflect this change. The person who helped me (Amy :) ) said that you shouldn't change anything that it might just make for a less sweet cookie... im not sure I may or may not experiment. But all in all I give this cookie a 4 out of 5 stars ;)
