    Drop dough by teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Press bottom of glass onto dough to grease, then dip into additional sugar; press on balls until 1/4-inch thickness. Dip bottom of glass onto a wet paper towel, then dip into dry gelatin; press onto dough. Repeat until desired color appears.

    Bake 8 to 10 minutes until light brown. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.

  • Use parchment paper over your cookie sheets when baking to make clean-up quicker! Wipe the paper down and re-use when you are done.
  • Use a cookie scoop to keep each of your cookies the same size. If you don’t have a cookie scoop, an ice cream scoop will work as well!
  • This recipe uses vegetable oil instead of butter, what cookie recipes typically call for. If you would rather make drop sugar cookies with butter instead, take a look at our delicious and simple recipe for the Best No-Roll Sugar Cookies.
