Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 box (4 serving size) raspberry flavor gelatin
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbsp. yellow candy sprinkles

Directions

  1. In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, vanilla, gelatin and egg with mixer on medium. On low speed, beat in flour.
  2. Shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
  3. Heat oven to 375 degrees. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 2 inchers apart. With sharp knife, make 6 cuts on top of each ball about 3/4 of the way through to make 6 wedges. Spread wedges apart slightly to form flower petals. (Cookies will separate and flatten as they bake). Sprinkle about 1/8 tsp. yellow candy sprinkles into center of each.
  4. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until set and edges begin to brown. Cool 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
