Gumdrop Cookie Bars
Note: you could easily cheat and just use a sigar cookie mix and add gumdrops to the batter *wink wink but for now i am doing it the homemade way.
Note: makes 2 dozen small cookies or as many as the size you want to cut if bars.
• Preheat oven to 325°.
• Sift together 1 cup flour and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
• Fold the ½ cup of chopped gumdrops and ½ cup chopped almonds into the flour mixture, set aside.
• Using a stand mixer, in a mixing bowl, beat 2 eggs until foamy.
• Add 1 cup of sugar and 1½ teaspoon of vanilla extract to the eggs; mix well.
• Remove bowl from mixer, and add the flour mixture to egg mixture, blending together by hand.
• Spoon batter into your greased baking pan, spreading evenly.
• Bake in a preheated 325° oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
• Note: you may see a slight cracking at the top, but the inside will still be moist when baked.
• Remove from oven and allow cookie bars to cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan, on a wire rack.
• Cut the gumdrop cookies into squares inside your pan while still warm.
• Allow gumdrop cookies to cool completely in the pan before removing.
