SUGAR PLUM COOKIES

• (If using hand mixer do not over beat the butter and sugar, this will make the butter ooozz out while baking and end up with a buttery greasy cookie.).
• Stir in the flour and the chopped gumdrops.( A tip is to use 1/4 cup of the flour tossed into the chopped gumdrops, so that they stay seperate after cutting.).
• Shape dough into balls. This doesnt want to hold together well, so just squeeze each ball tightly to form.
• Place onto cookie sheet.
• Press a greased glass into the granulated sugar, and then press down on each cookie to 1/2 inch thick.
• Cut the small drops into pieces and press a few into each cookie.
• Bake 10 minutes, or until edges are light golden.
• Remove to wire rack.
• Cool completely.
• You will see that these are crumbly to make balls, You might even think that they won't hold up.
