Notes
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container to maintain their soft, chewy texture.
- These cookies are best enjoyed at room temperature with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- For a flavor boost, experiment with different Jell-O powder flavors to create unique and colorful cookies.
- Don't overbake – slightly soft centers ensure the cookies stay moist and delicious.
