Cake Mix Jello Cookies Ingredients

1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix – Forms the base of the cookie dough and gives the cookies their soft, sweet flavor.

1 egg – Helps bind the dough together and creates a light, fluffy texture.

¾ cup vegetable oil (or olive oil) – Adds moisture and keeps the cookies soft and tender.

2 boxes (3 ounces each) Jello gelatin – Use any flavor you like. Choose your favorite flavor or coordinate the color with a holiday, party theme, or special occasion.

How to Make Cake Mix Jello Cookies

Prep

Get started by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Then, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Making the dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry cake mix, egg, and vegetable oil using a whisk or handheld mixer. Continue to mix until combined.

Next, divide the dough into 2 separate bowls. Then, add one box of dry Jello mix into each bowl.

Use a hand mixer to evenly distribute the Jello throughout the dough. Also, use your hands to knead it together to make the dough come together. The dough will be thick like playdoh.

Bake

Proceed to use a cookie scoop or tablespoon size spoon, to scoop the dough out and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.

Next, roll each spooned dough into a ball and then flatten it out slightly with your hand or the back of a spoon.

Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges look set.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before moving them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve slightly warm and enjoy!

How long are Jello cookies good for?

You can keep these cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 or 4 days. A trick my mother in law taught me is to put a piece of bread in the cookie container, the cookies absorb the moisture from the bread and stay soft for a couple days longer.

Can I freeze cookies made with jello?

Yes, these cookies freeze wonderfully. Simply place the cookies into an airtight container and freeze for up to three months. Let the cookies thaw on the counter before eating so that they are softer enough to bite into. This only takes a few minutes for a single cookie or two.

Can I roll the cookie dough in sugar before baking?

Yes, this is a great addition to these cookies. By doing so you are adding a fun layer to the cookie. It creates a nice crisp edge and the texture of the sugar make it the perfect bite, crunchy and then chewy!
