### Ingredients

 * 1.5 cups Unsalted butter-softened
 * 1/2 cups White Sugar
 * 1 Egg
 * 1 tsp Vanilla extract
 * 2.75 cups flour
 * 1 tsp Baking powder
 * 0.5 tsp Bicarbonate soda
 * 0.25 tsp Cream of tartar
 * 4 packages Jelly Crystals
 * 1 small Food colouring-optional

[[

### Directions

 * Cream together butter and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy.
 * Mix in egg and vanilla. Mix baking powder, bicarb soda and cream of tartar. Add
   flour slowly.
 * Now, separate the dough into four mixing bowls.
 * Sprinkle two tablespoons of jelly crystals on the cookie dough (only one flavour
   per bowl).
 * Using your hand fold and mix or even knead the jello until all is combined and
   the colour is solid throughout.
 * Add a few drops of food colouring in — or more if you’d like the colour to be
   more vibrant.
 * Scoop 1 tbsp sized amount of cookie dough, roll onto a biscuit tray lined with
   baking paper. Do the same for the rest of the dough.
 * Press down and flatten with the back of a spoon.
 * Chill the dough at least 30 minutes to 2 hours.
 * Bake for 9 minutes. Then remove. Now, have a bite! Make sure it’s not too hot,
   though. Let it cool for a few minutes and then serve.
