Red, White, and Blue Sandwich Cookies
 |
| Our ingredients |
This was a pretty simple recipe in terms of ingredients since it used boxed cake mixes.
2 white cake mixes
2 eggs
1 C butter, melted
2 T water
1 small package blueberry jello
(I couldn't find blueberry, so I went with Scary Berry)
1 small package raspberry jello
1/2 t red food coloring gel
1/2 t blue food coloring gel
Instructions
To
make the red dough combine one of the cake mixes with 1/2 C melted
butter, 1 egg, 1 T water, raspberry jello and the red food coloring. Mix
until everything is well combined and you have the color you like. You
can add a bit more food coloring gel if needed.
Make the blue dough by following the directions above…just add the blueberry jello and blue food coloring this time.
Roll them into 1 1/2 inch balls and place them on a sprayed cookie sheet. Bake for about 8 minutes at 350 degrees (You might need to bake them longer. For some reason I had a difficult time with the blue ones and they didn't cook all the way through)

Now the actual recipe called for frosting to go in between the two cookies, but we aren't huge fans of frosting, so I bought both cool whip and vanilla ice cream to act as the filling. We didn't end up using the ice cream because we didn't like the cookies and didn't get that far.

Kristin - 2 (I was able to finish the one I was eating, but the rest were thrown in the trash. The jello flavoring just really didn't work)
