Although it may be storming
outside, it is Spring in my Kitchen.
Welcome to Red Couch Recipes.
Yesterday, a horrible thing happened...I only had two mini-bags of cookies
and three lunches to put together! My youngest daughter didn't get cookies
in her lunch -- and she let me know about it!

This morning, being the wonderful and great mother that
I always am -- :) I woke up early and played in the kitchen
making Jell-O Easter eggs.
Today, I made sure that her lunch was packed with cookies.
Let's face it, cookies can always brighten our day!
This is the pan I used. I have owned it for many moons.
It is stamped Wilton 1993. If you don't have an egg pan, you can still play and
make normal cookies.

I am linking up with Beverly at Pink Saturday. The strawberry Jell-O eggs are more pink than red.
I used lemon, lime,
and strawberry Jell-O to make my Easter egg cookies. I am sure your
children and grands would like to make some.
You can make them single colored.
Recipe for Jell-O Cookies
3/4 cup butter or shortening
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 (3 ounce) package of Jell-o
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 cups flour
Mix all ingredients. If dough seems a bit dry add the tiniest amount of water. Spray egg mold impressions with Pam that contains flour or Baker's Joy. Press ball of dough in egg mold and press dough firmly to fit the egg mold. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 6 to 8 minutes. If you don't have an egg mold, you can make normal cookies. Allow the cookies to bake longer from 8 to 10 minutes. If desired, drizzle with powdered sugar icing. Just add a very small amount of water to powdered sugar to make the icing.
You can make them multi-colored..
I used lemon, lime and strawberry flavored Jell-O's.
For two flavors, just combine two colored balls of dough;
for three flavors, just combine three colored balls of dough.

Such a cute idea. I own a wilton egg pan that is similar. Love the colors. I think you made it up to your daughter.

These are adorable! Really they are so cute and colorful.
How did you get by skipping the youngest? In our house it would have been the oldest that didn't get cookies (and it would have cost me a dollar)! I love the ways these look.
Oh how fun! I have a super, super old egg pan but it is in a storage box, lost somewhere. :( Ah well, I'll remember these cheery little eggs when I find it. I'd love for you to add this to the Hump Day Hoorah link party. I hope to see you there! :)
