We love making cookies as a family. Usually we do sugar cookie cutouts and decorate them together, but I thought I would try something a little different this time. I came across a recipe for fun colored rainbow jello cookies and I thought it would be fun for my boys to be able to use the different colors to make cookie shapes. And they had a blast.
The last ones were their favorite to make, they think they look like marbles. To make the ones shown in the first picture we layered each color on top of the other and sliced the cookies.
