Great cookie! When cutting up your gumdrops, place them in a bowl and cover with sugar. Then use a pair of scissors to snip them in half. The sugar will stick to the new edge and will keep the drops nice and seperated. Then just strain out the sugar and you are left with perfectly sized gumdrops. Enjoy!

Made these this AM, they are gorgeous. Gumdrops are hard to find in UK (american hard gums) BUT had some in cupboard and made these. Don't feel guilty about eating them, cos you get a work out mixing all the ingredients together..nice and chewy, even cold they don't go hard, but stay lovely and soft.

I make these every year for Christmas. At first, I was hesitant to use all shortening instead of butter, but I decided to follow the recipe exactly. The cookies came out awesome! The only mistake I made was to be a little too generous with the oatmeal, coconut, pecans, and gumdrops; there was barely enough dough to hold everything together! But now I just add scant cups of these things and the cookies are still loaded! EXREMELY TASTY!

These were very tasty... I added more gumdrops than 1 cup, and make sure to get the really spicy ones to give this cookie more kick! I used butter rather than shortening and it worked well. Also, make sure to toast the pecans before adding them in, since that really brings out their flavor. Finally, I'd recommend pre-mixing the nuts, gumpdrops, oatmeal and coconut together before adding these ingredients into the dough... otherwise you have to stir the dough too much in the end and the cookies aren't quite as tender. Tasty cookies!

I loved these cookies. I omit the pecans (just b/c I do not like them). Use baking gums in the cookies, they come in just red,green,orange and yellow. These gumdromps are small so all you have to do is snip them in two with a pair of scissors~very quick! I used margarine instead of shortening and the cookies came out fine. Also I flatten them slightly with a spatula just as they come out of the oven, while still on the bakingn sheet, I find this makes them chewier (is that even a word?)then I remove them to cool as directed. Exactly as I remember from childhood~thanks for sharing an excellent recipe.

These are great cookies. My family fought over them. My daughter took some to her Christmas party and they were the hit of the party. I used red and green spiced gumdrops. The only thing I would do different next time is chop the gumdrops smaller (I chopped them in half).

The unique combo of ingredients caught my eye, and since I love my Mom's special gumdrop bread and coconut I thought this recipe would be a hit. And it is! The cookies baked up nice and crisp on the outside and chewy in the center with abundant flavor in every bite. These will be added to my "must bake" Christmas list from now on!

These are so good .They are chewy and very tasty. I omitted the pecans which didn't effect the recipe at all. Definetly to be recommended.

They Will spread some on the pan - but they won't last long once they're off. Fruit slice gumdrops make em Extra Wonderful.
