Valentine Jello Cookies

            

1 3/4 cup flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 6oz package Jello mix (any flavor you like)

3/4 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and Jello mix and then set aside. In a medium sized bowl, beat butter and sugar together until creamy. Beat in the egg and the vanilla. Gradually blend in flour mixture. 

Chill dough for at least a half hour and then roll out with floured rolling pin, on a generously floured surface. Dough will be on the sticky side so, adding extra flour might be necessary. 

Cut the dough with cookie cutters and then place cookies on an un-greased cookie sheet.

Bake in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 5-7 minutes, or until edges barely brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes and then transfer to wire rack to completely cool.

Yield: Approx. 2 dozen small heart shaped cookies.
