Strawberry Jello Cookies

So if you search the web for Jello cookies, you are going to find something like the recipe below.

This is how I made it the strawberry cookies:
3/4 cup shortening -only because I was out of butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 - 3 oz package of Strawberry Jello
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
sprinkles :)

Mix butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients. Form 1 inch ball, roll 1/2 of the ball in sprinkles, place sprinkle end up on the baking sheet and flatten using bottom of a glass or fork. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 8 minutes. Enjoy!
