Jello Pie

1 box of jello (either peach, strawberry, lime, or lemon)
2 8oz. cartons for yougrat (matching the type of jello)
1 small tub of cool whip
2 graham pie shells

mix jello with boiling water like directed on the box...the mix with yougrat and cool whip....put mixture in the pie shells and refrigate.


Barcadi Pie

Substitue barcadi mixer for jello and Egagle brand canned milk for yougart. Freeze instead of refrigate. Very yummy.

1 can cherry pie filling

I'm not Lutheran, but I *am* from the midwest (where we, too, know the importance of Jell-O recipes), and this one's always been a favorite of mine:

Jello Cookies

- about 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 4-oz. box Jell-O, any flavor
- extra granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Cream butter and sugars. Mix in egg and vanilla. Mix in salt and baking soda. Sift in flour until dough is firm enough to mold into balls. Blend in box of Jell-O.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Take a glass with a flat bottom and dip it in the sugar. Use the glass to press the cookies to about 1/4 inch thickness (a little thicker is okay, too).

Bake for about 9 minutes, or until it looks like it's done.


(One can also add two boxes for more flavor, or even add different flavors.)
