Heat Oven to 325
¾ C shortening
¾ C sugar
3 eggs
1 t vanilla
1—3oz pkg Jell-O
2 ¾ C flour
1T baking powder
¾ t salt
Combine first five ingredients. Stir in remaining ingredients. Roll into balls, place on cookie sheet and flatten with bottom of drinking glass that has been dipped in sugar. Bake 8-10 minutes. It is fun to match Jell-O flavor/color with holiday or season. i.e. lime Jell-O for St Patrick's day or strawberry for Valentines.
This comes from one of my mom's old cookbooks. One dedicated exclusively to recipes calling for Jell-O products. Probably called something like "The Ultimate Jell-O Cookbook".
P.S. Don't use blue Jell-O with butter flavored shortening. The yellow of the shortening turns the blue Jell-O to a sickly green color. Learned that the hard way. Duh.

this recipe is in the Jell-o cookbook, but I first got it from Jeannie Maddux, a gal I used to work with.
