<p>I was going to a neighborhood BBQ and I was hankering to bake something new. Then I came across this <a href="http://bakebakebake.livejournal.com/1407233.html">recipe</a>. It was the strangest, yummiest cookie. It was so unique and such a&nbsp; hit. I thought it would be a fun summer cookie. </p>
<p>You&#8217;ll need:</p>
<ul>
<li>package of sugar cookie mix</li>
<li>1 package lime jello</li>
<li>1 egg</li>
<li>1 stick of butter</li>
<li>1/2 tsp peppermint extract</li>
<li>1/4 tsp rum extract</li>
<li>1 Tbsp sugar</li>
</ul>
<p>Mix the sugar cookie mix and 3/4 of the jello. Then add one egg and a stick of butter. Then the extracts. </p>

<p>In a separate bowl, mix the remaining jello and the sugar.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="http://andihays.net/wordpress//HLIC/93fa67adacc47ba32169926a060d230f.jpg"></p>
<p>Roll the cookie batter into small balls, then roll the balls in the sugar mixture and put on a cookie sheet.</p>

<p>Bake for 7-9 minutes and don&#8217;t over bake them. </p>

<p>Cool on a cooling rack.</p>

<p>Feed yourself and your neighbors!</p>

<p>I was a little surprised they used peppermint extract instead of regular mint because it would have been more like a mojito drink (which I will admit, I have never had). But I imagine they used peppermint because it tastes sweeter for a cookie. They had a very interesting flavor and I couldn&#8217;t stop eating them. </p>
<p>These would be so easy to make with different flavors of jello and different extracts. I will definitely be trying this again for birthdays or gifts for people. What a fun gift. Now I want to bake again! </p>
