Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Strawberry gelatin powder (e.g., Jell-O)
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 drops Pink food coloring (optional)
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and strawberry gelatin powder until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.

Step 5

If desired, add 3 drops of pink food coloring to enhance the color of the dough. Mix until evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. The dough will be soft but not sticky.

Step 7

Scoop out 1.5-inch balls of dough (about a tablespoon each) and roll them between your palms to form smooth spheres.

Step 8

Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar until fully coated. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers will remain soft.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve your Pink Panthers once cooled and enjoy their vibrant color and delightful strawberry flavor!
