2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cup flour

1 box (3 ounce) Jello

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

3.Add salt and baking powder, mix well. Gradually add flour. Mix well.
4.Using a spritz cookie press, press dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat. [Alternatively, you could use a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip (or play around with other tips) to make freehand shapes].
5.Bake for about 8 minutes. Don’t brown the cookies, they should be just firm to touch when done.
6.Cool on a rack. Store in an airtight container. These cookies can also be frozen to be eaten later.
