The Kids and I usually pick a new cookie recipe to try every year. This Christmas eve we made...
GUMDROP COOKIES
1 c. butter
1 c. white sugar
1 c. light brown sugar
2 eggs, unbeaten
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. gumdrops
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 c. coconut
1 c. chopped walnuts
3 c. + 2 tbsp. flour
Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients and add with the balance of ingredients. Drop level teaspoons of batter onto ungreased cookie sheet, handling dough as little as possible. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
Brach's individually wrapped fruit slices in assorted flavors work best. About 15 fruit slices, each cut into 8 to 12 pieces, yield 1 to 1 1/4 cups.
Pretty good too.
They sound very pretty. How did they taste? Chewy?
