Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the strawberry jello powder until fully incorporated and the mixture turns vibrant pink.
  4. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually incorporate into the wet mixture.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough, roll in granulated sugar, and place on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly.
  7. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until slightly golden around the edges.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Prepare frosting by blending softened butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and reserved jello powder. Frost cooled cookies as desired.
