Gumdrop Cookies Recipe

My Mom used to make Gumdrop cookies a long time ago, and lost the recipe. A few years ago we went looking online, and we found it, or at least, a recipe close enough to it. This is the second time that I have made these, and each time, the dough turns out a little bit different. This time, it was more flat? I have no idea why, but they were good. I think that I might add more flour to them when I make more next week!

We found this recipe HERE.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup gumdrop, cut small (I cut them into 3 pieces, I also use 1 cup of gumdrops, instead of 3/4)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup soft butter
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons milk 

Directions:
1) Combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

2) Stir in gumdrops.

3) Set aside.

4) Combine butter and sugar.

5) Stir in egg.

6) Stir in vanilla.

7) Stir in milk.

8) Stir in dry ingredient mixture.

9) Drop by small spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.

10) Bake 10-12 minutes at 350F.

11) Remove from pan and cool on a rack.

Skin MD Natural Lotion Review and Giveaway! (ends 1/4) (US and CAN)

 

I have really enjoyed reviewing the Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion! I have kept it by my laptop and I have been using it everyday for the past month. My hands were really dry and my skin was cracking when I first starting using it on my hands. But after a few days, my hands weren't rough, dry, and my skin wasn't cracked. Skin MD Natural lotion isn't greasy or oily, and virtually no scent at all. There are many lotions that I have used on my hands in the past and my hands smelled like the lotion for a few hours or more afterwords.

Skin MD Natural and Skin MD Natural + SPF 15 are manufactured in the United States using 100% solar power, free of animal products and animal testing. Skin MD Natural Lotion is fragrance free and hypoallergenic and safe to use on children and adults, and it is made with all natural and/or plant-based natural ingredients. "The balance are food grade or medical grade products that are on the Food & Drug Administration's most safe list."
"The word "natural" is widely used in the personal care products and cosmetic industry and is a relative term. At 93% natural ingredients, Skin MD Natural is among the highest echelon of products based on the percentage of natural ingredients. In actual fact, there are almost no skin care products that are any more than marginally effective that are 100% natural. A variety of factors account for this." (from the Skin MD website)

Skin MD Natural Lotion has been successfully used in people with dry skin, eczema, skin allergies, and psoriasis. "Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion works to restore the skin's protective barrier, blocking toxins and irritants and providing the much needed moisture to dry, damaged skin with natural ingredients. Skin MD Natural is more than a lotion, it is a solution for dry skin and other skin conditions."

If you would like some FREE samples of Skin MD Natural Lotion or Skin MD Natural Lotion with SPF 15, (2 packets containing 3 - 5 uses each), please click HERE for the address to send a S.A.S.E. (Self Addressed Stamped Envelope), and for information about how to request FREE samples online! (If you live outside of the U.S.A., please order your FREE samples online, thank you.)
