Christmas is all over and it’s now new year, I can’t believe how quickly the year went by. I did however make these cookies last year but only posting them up now. This may come in use for people who are trying to use up any jars they brought or if you brought some bargain priced mincemeat.

These cookies were just an adjustment to a cookie recipe I found and I just added the mincemeat so I wasn’t sure how these would turn out. They did turn out ok but I thought they were not the the softer hard version of a cookie and more cake like then biscuit like. This maybe as I added some milk to loosen the mixture and combine everything so I wouldn’t do that again.

  4. 4. Line a baking tray with baking paper and using a medium 2-inch cookie scoop or if you don't it use a heaped tablespoon to form cookies. Place the moulds on the tray at least 2 inches apart usually 8 cookies per sheet then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
