GUMDROP COOKIES 
1 c. butter
1 c. white sugar
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. mayonnaise
2 1/2 c. flour
2 c. rolled oats
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. spice gumdrops
1 c. coconut

Cream butter until fluffy. Add white and brown sugar and cream well. Add mayonnaise, vanilla, baking powder, soda, salt, oats and flour; mix well. Cut spices drops into small pieces and coat with 2 tablespoons flour. Fold in spice drops and coconut. Drop by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet (may need to squeeze dough to hold together). Bake at 375 degrees about 12 minutes or until golden. (A holiday tradition in our family.)
