Festive Mincemeat Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 1/2 cups prepared mincemeat, drained
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking surfaces by lightly coating them with a non-stick cooking spray.
3
In a large mixing vessel, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and eggs. Utilize an electric mixer to blend these ingredients together until they achieve a light and airy consistency, then incorporate the essence of vanilla.
4
Meanwhile, in a separate container, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda until they are well combined.
5
Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter-egg-sugar combination, stirring until everything is harmoniously blended.
6
Introduce the chopped nuts and mincemeat into the mixture, stirring until they are fully incorporated.
7
Using a spoon or small scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking surfaces in small portions, leaving approximately 2 inches of space between each cookie.
8
Place the prepared cookies in the preheated oven and bake until they turn a light golden brown at their edges, taking around 8 to 10 minutes.
