It's Memorial Day weekend, but in two short days, it will be pride month.

So, here's a recipe I tried for Pride Month.
Jell-O cookies.
These recipe is NOT from scratch, although it could be.
Take one bag of snickerdoodle mix, and pour it into a bowl.

you will
NOT be using the cinnamon sugar package that comes in the bag. If you want, save it for something else, or just toss it.
Take one stick of
salted butter, and melt it, then pour it into the mix, and stir them together. Then, add in one egg, and stir it in. Finally add 2 tablespoons of water, and stir them in.
The final dough may be sticky, that's ok.
Next, split the dough into 2 or 3 batches, depending on how many different colors/flavors you want. For these batches of cookies, I made three colors from each batch, meaning I followed the recipe above, split the dough into thirds, and then used a second bag of mix, repeated the process, and then split that dough into thirds, so I was able to have 6 different colors.
Take your first batch of dough, add one tablespoon of Jell-O mix, and knead. When mixed, add a second tablespoon, and knead again. Once this is done, sprinkle some of the same Jell-O powder onto a plate, form the dough into balls, roll them in the powder, and then place them on a cookie sheet, lined with parchment paper. Place in an oven preheated to 350 for 13 minutes. After removing them from the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
Make the balls on the smaller side, as the cookies will spread when baking, so it may take a few tries to get them the size that you want. Practice makes perfect!
I made mine into Pride Cookies, to match the pride flag, and the Jell-O gives the cookies their color and flavor.
The cookies are red (cherry), orange (orange), yellow (lemon), green (lime), blue (berry blue) and purple (grape).
The original recipe called for sugar to be mixed with the powdered Jell-O when rolling the dough balls in it, but I thought that would be too sweet. Being honest, I did not miss having the sugar in the final product, they were sweet enough.
