| 3 1/4 | cups | flour, all-purpose | |
| 1/2 | teaspoon | salt | |
| 1 | teaspoon | baking soda | |
| 1 | cup | vegetable shortening | |
| 1 1/2 | cup | sugar | |
| 3 | large | eggs | beaten |
| 1 1/2 | cup | mincemeat | from jar |
Combine flour salt and soda. Cream shortening, adding sugar gradually and cream until fluffy. Add eggs and beat until smooth. Stir in mincemeat. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing well.
Drop by teaspoonsful about 2 inches apart on greased baking sheat. Bake in 400 degree oven for about 12 minutes.
Makes 48 cookies.
Note: These resemble a raisin cookie in flavor. If using homemade mincemeat, add some sugar, however the jar mince is recommended instead for a fruity taste.
Absolutely horrible! Worse than store bought cookies. Too much sugar, too many eggs, too much butter, not enough mincemeat. Do not cook at 400. The dough is sticky, cookies come out flat, over browned and taste like sugar and flour.
I threw in a couple handfuls each of dried cranberries and chopped walnuts to save the dough. Lowered temp to 375. Still has an odd flavor to it.
What a waste of an expensive jar of gourmet mincemeat from Vermont.

My mother and I made these cookies when I was little, many years ago, using the box of dry mincemeat. I have looked for years for the recipe, they are the best cookies ever!!!

Various substitutions when baking or using flour in recipes and replacing sugar with other ingredients. Ideas about how to bake with more whole grains....
If you like butterscoth and oatmeal cookies - this is the best! It's become one of my most-liked and most often baked cookies. Whoever came up with this recipe had a real winner.

I have been making these cookies for years. I got the recipe off the large Mincemeat Jar. I add crushed walnuts and frost them with carmel icing. Men love these cookies.
