**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 (3 oz.) package raspberry Jell-O gelatin
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– Additional granulated sugar for rolling
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

3. Add the raspberry Jell-O powder to the butter mixture and beat until well combined and the color is evenly distributed.
4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

8. Using the bottom of a glass, gently flatten each cookie to about 1/4 inch thickness.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
