   on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 5-7 minutes or until edges just start to
   turn brown ( depends on your oven)
Cool for 2 minutes and place on rack.

** I used sugar-free/fat-free jello
** I used Splenda instead of sugar (same amount)
I mixed 1/4 cup powered sugar with a little milk
   to frost the cookie
Took out of oven after 41/2 min. (my oven)

Delicious,  found the recipe online

It made for me 18 cookies almost 1/2 inch thick
