I
made a batch of my in house taste testers favourite mincemeat tarts for the
holidays. I always end up with some mincemeat left over and never know what to
do with it.
I
remembered seeing this old recipe of my grandma Clarke’s for mincemeat cookies,
so I dug it out and whipped up a batch.
They
are soft and cakey and full of flavour. Even if you don’t like mincemeat you
will love these cookies!
What
you need,
1
cup butter, softened
1½
cup granulated sugar
3
eggs
3
cups all-purpose flour
1
tsp. baking soda
½
tsp. salt
½
tsp. cinnamon
1
1/3 cup mincemeat
Heat
the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mats.
In
a large bowl cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs
one at a time until well incorporated.
Add
in the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir until just combined.
Fold
in the mincemeat.
Drop
by the tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake
for 8-10 minutes, just until the edges are browned the centre is just set, don’t
over bake.
Let
the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a
rack to cool completely.
Store
in an airtight container for a week or you can freeze them between wax paper
for up to a month.
These
cookies just taste like Christmas.
They
aren’t much to look at but they sure are tasty‼
