Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the cold unsalted butter and granulated sugar until fluffy and light, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the large egg to the mixture and mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together. Gradually add to the butter mixture and mix on low speed until a soft dough forms.
  5. Divide the dough into 3-4 parts and add 1-2 tablespoons of Jello powder to each, mixing until the dough is evenly colored.
  6. Wrap each section of dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Roll small balls of dough (about 1 inch) and coat them in additional sugar before slightly flattening and placing on baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are set; they should appear slightly crackled.
  9. Cool on the baking sheets for about 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
