Description

Kool-Aid Cookies are a fun, flavorful drop cookie that can be ready in just twenty minutes! Try this under 30-minute dessert recipe that both kids and adults will love!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 2/3 cups sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 cups of flour
  • 2-4 Kool-Aid packets in your choice of flavor(s), see recipe for details

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  2. In a mixer, cream together butter and sugar.
  3. Add eggs and mix well.
  4. Add salt and baking soda.
  5. Add flour to butter mixture 1/2 cup at a time and mix well.
  6. If you would like more than flavor of cookies divide your dough into separate bowls now.
  7. I divided my dough into four equal portions and used one half packet of Kool-Aid per portion. If you are making only two colors you will use one packet of Kool-Aid per half, if you only want one color use two packets for the entire recipe.
  8. Mix Kool-Aid into dough until well blended and color is even.
  9. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet and bake 10-12 minutes.
  10. Let cool one minute before removing from pan.

Notes

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different flavors and colors!

Do not mix in plastic bowls or with plastic utensils as the Kool Aid may stain.
