Jello Spritz Cookies

My infatuation with Jello continues... I just had to whip up some Jello Spritz Cookies as soon as I saw them! My cookies were tinted pink/purple by Black Cherry Jello and they had the faint flavor of Cherry Jello, imagine that:@) I did add more red food coloring. This recipe made a nice dough for spritz cookies, it had the perfect consistency and stuck to the sheets well.

This is a fun little novelty cookie and one I think the kids would get a kick out of!

The vintage ad that was my inspiration:
