JELL-O COOKIES

3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
2 packages (3 oz. each) Jell-O, any flavor
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Mix flour and baking powder in medium bowl; set aside.

In large bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and one package of Jell-O. (Reserve second package). Beat in egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture in three portions, mixing well after each addition.

Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Flatten with bottom of glass, and sprinkle with reserved gelatin.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until very lightly browned. (Overbaking will hide the pastel Jell-O coloring!) Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire racks.
