Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/4 cup about 8 oz. small whole gumdrops (I like Brach’s Spicettes)

Instruction

  • In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla; beat until fluffy. Add flour and salt; mix well. Stir in the gum drops. Chill the dough for 1 hour or until firm enough to handle
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Cover one or two baking sheets with parchment paper. Shape dough into walnut size balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until edges are very light golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
  • Package these all stacked up in wide mouth canning jars or in cookie tins with tightly fitting lids.
