Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.

7. Stir 1 cup of cold water into the dissolved strawberry gelatin.
8. Pour the strawberry gelatin mixture over the cooled crust.
9. Refrigerate the dish for 45 minutes, or until the gelatin is set and no longer jiggles when tapped.

4. Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating for 30 seconds after each addition until incorporated.
5. Mix in the vanilla extract on low speed for 10 seconds.
6. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until no dry streaks remain—overmixing makes cookies tough.
