Fall Recipe Challenge: Spicy Gumdrop Cookies

Another family tradition that I'd yet to try out personally. I baked these specifically to bribe my uncle to hack into my husbands computer that has been denying us access for months, good news it worked! Both the bribe and the hacking! Boy would it be nice to actually be able to use that computer again! These are very tasty treats, people always love the little surprise pieces of gum drop mixed in.
