How To Make Cherry Vanilla Gumdrop Cookies:
Cut JuJu Hearts into small pieces. We cut each heart into four pieces (can cut smaller) and I used kitchen shears. Set aside.
With an electric mixer, in a mixing bowl, combine shortening and sugar until smooth and creamy and well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla and blend well.
Next, Sprinkle the baking soda, salt and flour onto the egg and sugar mixture. Mix just to combine.
Fold in JuJu hearts and roll 22 cookies balls.
Place cookies on a parchment paper covered baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Bake in a 350 degree, pre-heated oven, for 11-13 minutes.
Remove baked cookies from oven and cool on a cooling rack. Enjoy!
