Jello Shamrock Cookies


Sugar Cookies With A Little "Zap" OF Lime!

These cookies are so easy to roll and cut out and you don't need to chill the dough before you roll. My little youth group of girls from ages 8 to 11 helped me make these and they all gobbled them up in the blink of an eye. Just a little different from a regular sugar cookie. Give them a try for all the leprechauns at your house.

3 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 pkg. 3 oz. lime jello (not sugar free)
1 cup shortening
3 eggs

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and jello together. Add shortening and mix well.

Then add unbeaten eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition. Gather the dough into a ball and then roll and cut into shamrock shapes.

Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes

Makes 4 to 5 dozen

This looks really easy and yummy--I'm always up for an easy sugar cookie recipe. But how much shortening do you use?
