This is a favorite that is usually served at Christmas time in my church. I don't think that after all these years anyone remembers who originally shared the recipe. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
1 cup shortening |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
2 1/3 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup walnuts or 1/2 cup pecans, chopped |
1 cup gumdrop, chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Cream shortening and sugars.
3. Blend in eggs, salt, vanilla and soda.
4. Slowly stir in flour.
5. With wooden spoon (because of stickiness)stir in chopped gumdrops and nuts.
6. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet and bake just until set.
7. Do not over bake.
8. I found that using a silpat is very helpful with this recipe.
