Coconut Gumdrop Cookies
Report
Buttery cookies with coconut and fruity, chewy gumdrops. I remember Mom making these fun cookies quite often when I was a kid!

Ingredients
- 2 c. all-purpose flour divided
- 1-1/2 c. gumdrops divided - aim for 1/4" to 3/8" pieces, chopped
- 1 c. butter at room temperature, unsalted
- 1 c. brown sugar packed
- 1 c. sugar
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
- 2 egg slightly beaten, large
- 1 c. coconut flakes unsweetened
- 1-1/2 c. old fashioned oats
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract pure
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Very, very lightly spray two baking sheets with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a small bowl, toss 1/2 cup of the flour with 1 cup of the chopped gumdrops to evenly coat. Break apart any pieces that want to stick together to coat fully with flour. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter on medium high speed for 2 minutes. Add brown sugar and sugar, and beat to combine.
- In a medium bowl, sift together remaining 1-1/2 cups of flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. With mixer on low, alternate adding flour mixture and beaten eggs in two separate additions each. Beat just until incorporated each time. Add coconut, oats, and vanilla, and mix until incorporated. With a spatula, fold in the gumdrop pieces that have been coated with flour.
- With a medium scoop (mine is 1-5/8″ in diameter), packed tightly with cookie dough, drop dough onto a prepared pan leaving 2" between each one. Or portion out about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll slightly to form a ball. Press in 2 to 4 more of the reserved gumdrop pieces into each dough ball, using more if desired. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes, or until edges are set and lightly golden brown. Do not over bake.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest on pan for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These cookies freeze very well.
