Jell-o Cookies Mix in a Jar
Mix well in big bowl with wire whisk:
1/2 C. sugar
1 (3 oz.) package Jell-O - any flavor (orange, lemon, cherry)
1 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
2-1/2 C. flour
This makes about 4 cups mix, enough to fill a quart sized jar. To give as a
gift, place the lid on the jar and cut a piece of fabric in a circle, that is
several inches larger than the jar lid. Pinking shears make a nice edge. Secure
the fabric to the lid with a rubber band. Attach the directions to the jar with
a ribbon or raffia

Mix 3/4 cup shortening, 2 eggs and 1 tsp. vanilla together in a bowl.

on greased cookie sheets, then dip the bottom of a glass in sugar and press onto
dough until flat.
