gumdrop cookies, my way
I love coconut, oatmeal, and gumdrops, but only specific flavors of gumdrops. So I choose only one flavor per batch. For example, red gumdrops, orange gumdrops. You can use whatever you personally like. You would NEVER find a lemon, lime, or other gumdrop in my cookies! LOL My mother in law says her mother in law, Gladys Wright, used to make Gumdrop Cookies, but never wrote the recipe down for her, and I have been making varieties every year but they aren't what she remembers. I'm making these next to take to her house! Wonder if they will approve these more than the ones I have made B4~LOL
