Personal Notes:
I found this recipe in Jackie Olden's "Jackie's Kitchen Magic" cookbook. I wonder if this is the source of Grandma Maryann's gumdrop cookies. It captured my interest because it would be so much easier to put jelly beans into a recipe, rather than cut up gumdrops in preparation to bake the cookies!
