Yields about 6 dozen

3/4 cup margarine, softened
1 (0.3-oz.) pkg. mixed fruit sugar-free gelatin
Egg substitute equivalent to 1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder

In a mixing bowl, cream together the margarine and gelatin. Beat in the egg substitute and vanilla. Mix together the flour and baking powder and add to the egg mixture, mixing well. Chill for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Roll the dough mixture out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut out cookies with heart-shaped cookie cutters (or any shape you desire). Place the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 6 to 7 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly browned and the cookies are set. Cool on wire racks.

Note: You can change the taste of these cookies by trying different flavors of gelatin.
