There are times when you get creative with the items in your pantry. The other day I wanted to make sugar cookies but I wanted them to try something different. Thats when I seen the box of Strawberry Jello in the pantry calling my name. I looked at the ingredients in the package and the first ingredient was SUGAR. That is when I decided to use some of the jello in place of sugar in my basic sugar cookie recipe.
I normally use eggs when I make these cookies but as I am making the batter I realize my husband had used all the eggs for breakfast. I replaced the egg with vegetable oil which gives these cookies a more chewier texture.
Here is my recipe I used for the yummy and colorful strawberry flavored cookies.
