    List of Ingredients




    Gumdrop Cookie Mix in a Jar


    1 3/4 cups flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    1 1/2 cups (10 ounces) spiced gum drops, cut into pieces

    Recipe




    Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda, and add to the jar. Add the brown sugar, and press down gently to form a layer.

    Combine the granulated sugar and the gum drops to coat the cut pieces of the candy with sugar, to prevent the candy from clumping together. Add them to the jar.

    Seal the jar, and store in a cool, dry place, away from a heat source.

    Attach the following instructions to a gift tag:
