Betty is my rug hooking teacher and she makes these delectable bars at Christmastime. I'm not too wild about spice gumdrops by themselves, but in this cookie.....mmm. I especially like the flavor of the brownie part. It would be a great base for other add-ins.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup butter or 2/3 cup margarine
2 1/4 cups brown sugar (1 pound)
3 eggs
2 2/3 cups sifted flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 (13 ounce) package spice gumdrops
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Grease a 10 1/2 x 15 1/2 cookie pan with at least 3/4-inch sides.
3. Melt butter in microwave, just to melting point.
4. Stir in brown sugar with mixer; then eggs, one at a time, stirring in well between.
5. Add flour, salt and baking powder; mix well.
6. By hand, stir in nuts and gumdrops.
7. Spread on cookie sheet and bake for 25 minutes.
8. When almost cool, cut into 1x3-inch bars.
