Jello Sugar Cookies Recipe

Jello Sugar Cookies are delicious cookies that can be made with any flavor of jello! This sugar cookie recipe is easy to make in any color and the simple buttercream frosting can be flavored to match. These sugar cookies can be rolled and cut out into shapes or just quickly scooped out into balls.

I absolutely love sugar cookies, but I typically only make them on special occasions (Valentine’s Day and Christmas!), because of the effort involved with chilling the dough and then rolling it out, cutting out the cookies, baking them and then decorating.

It’s kind of exhausting! Factor in 5 kids who want to help, and well, let’s just say it takes a lot of energy to attempt this whole process!

This sugar cookie frosting is made with butter, sour cream, powdered sugar, vanilla and a little bit of milk. I prefer this buttercream frosting on sugar cookies
