Linda's Spiced Gum Drop Cookies
by Linda Miller

The spiced gum drops make these original cookies very colorful!

(Editor's Note: This recipe did not include butter in the list of ingredients when submitted, so we're guessing it should have said 1 c. butter - which is normal for many cookie recipes.)

1 egg

1/2 c. water

1/3 c. sugar

1/3 c. light brown sugar

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 1/4 c. flour

1/2 c. oatmeal

1 c. spiced gum drops cut up

Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in egg, baking soda, baking powder, salt and vanilla. Stir in flour and oatmeal, add in gum drops. Mix well.

Heat oven to 350. Drop rounded spoonfuls of batter two inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes.
