Gumdrop Cookies (EASY)

This is a recipe my mom always made when we were growing up and it was one of my favs! Lately I have been making it without the gumdrops and coconut and making oatmeal cookies out of it -- yum!

Gumdrop Cookies (EASY)

1 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flor
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup coconut
1 cup baking gumdrops

Thoroughly cream shortening and sugars, add eggs and vanilla, beat well. Sift dry ingredients. Bake 375 degrees 10-12 minutes.

Now, when I made these withouth the coconut and gumdrops, they flattened out a LOT and were awesome! Super flat, though, so don't be surprised! You could also add chocolate chips!!! I haven't but they would be good if you just did the oatmeal version.
