Borden's None Such Mincemeat Cookies

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.

These turned out just beautifully. Of course, that was when I decided to follow the recipe and make them as directed "drop by TEASPOONFULL). My husband likes BIG cookies so I made them big(1ST pan,nope)2nd pan,better,3rd pan, JUST PERFECT!!!!

Childhood memory of mincemeat (from the dried box) cookies and a glass of milk. First cookie I made when I was 10 or 12. My children and grandchildren all love them. Still have the recipe card that my Mother used-60 years later.

This is a recipe close to what my mother always made at this time of year, so I had a yearning for some. So glad to find this site and the cookies are baking (and sampled). D-yummy! I added coconut & orange qes last half of dough to make a bar. Good

Have made these cookies for years. People who don't like mincemeat pie just love these cookies!

My grandmother made mince meat cookies using 1/2 jar, not the box. Anyone have that receipe? I bought the jar for years and it used to be on every label. Haven't seen it in the past 5 years. Please send to: Gblunt274@msn.com Thanks for your help

I have been making these and mincemeat holiday salad for over 50 years. Miss seeing the box of mincemeat on grocery shelves though.

Do you still sell the box of mincemeat, I have not found it in over ten of the local stores, Help, I have made the cookies for many years with the box and I miss them

Nonesuch dried mincemeat in the 9 oz. box is getting harder and harder to find. I found it at Meier this year and bought six boxes. The expiration date is 2013. I'm going to try the cookies.

there use to be a wonderful lemon iceing on these cookies.. who has that part of the recipe

A coworker had me try these cookies last year without knowing they were mincemeat! Delicious!!! Used to be able to get from Weis supermarket. Found the box in our local Shoprite.

I'm so happy I found this recipe. I made these cookies years ago and I lost the recipe. These cookies are delicious and now I will be able to make them for Christmas.

when to make cookies and there is no liquid to hold it together.not good, anyone out there have the same problem

Good Heavens, Sherri... there are 3 eggs plus the shortening and the mincemeat itself is wet. Did you misread the recipe?

MADE THESE COOKIES FOR YEARS USING THE BOX MINCEMEAT CAN ONLY FIND IT IN A JAR. GREAT BUY AT WALMART HAS A VERY GOOD EXPIRATION DATE . MAY BE JAN. BUT I'M BAKING. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

None Such has 2 different types of mince meat one comes in a jar and the other is a small block,you must compensate if using the block,while the jar contains liquid, the block is very dry,more like a bullion cube.

My mother did not like to bake very much as she did not like the feeling of flour. This cookie was a staple in our home. I still use it today and love it just as much.

A family favorite! Been baking these cookies since the early '80's!

after reading all these lovely compliments for this cookie, I can't wait to make them. Will be in my mixed boxes of gift cookies this year.

The Bordens site tells you that the concentrated 9oz box can be reconstituted with 3/4 cup water. You can also use 1/2 the jar or 1 1/3 c. for a more cake-like cookie.

The lemon glaze haley was asking about is also given there. It's just 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar and 1/4 c. lemon juice brushed or drizzled on warm cookies. We never glazed them when I was growing up, but it sounds yummy. Might add jest, too.

I grew up with Mincemeat pies and during the Holiday Season Mincemeat cookies, mom would make 3x the recipe. I had lost the recipe from the None Such jar, it has been about 15 years since this wonderful part of my childhood has been in my home. Made a double batch - family wants a couple of dozen, and mom would freeze the cookies, we had wonderful mincemeat cookies till February every year.

I have made this recipe every year especially around the holidays. My family loves them. I plan to make them part of my cookie trays for friends this year. This is one of the best cookies ever invented.

My grandmother made mincemeat cookies every Christmas (the 50's & 60's). The recipe was lost. Could this be the recipe she used? I have tried more than 30 different recipes and none have been the one she used. For reference, my grandmother would be 121 years old!

I use the Nonesuch mincemeat in a jar only, nothing else tastes the same. I also use the recipe from the jar, just like my Mama did starting 55 years ago. I have found that folks either love them or hate them, no in-between! Thankfully, my kids and their families LOVE them!

YES I ALSO FIND IT VERY HARD TO FIND THE NONESUCH IN A BOX THOUGHT PERHAPS I WAS IN AN AREA WHERE LATINS DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS THANKS HOUTX

Bordan's, what happened to you BOXED Mincemeat ??? I always used it for my cookies instead of the jar, was taught by my mother ! I can't find the "boxed" kind anywhere .. do. you still make it ? cl316613jh@gmail.com let me know anyone can find it !

I'm 82 years old been making theses cookies since I was a child going to start baking this week for Thanksgiving. My family loves them have 19 coming for dinner this year so have lots of baking to do. Happy Holidays Everyone

Here is the recipe that's on the back of the Nonesuch box now. You can find the box (front and back and to purchase) at walmart.com:

"Prize Cookies (makes About 6-1/2 dozen)

1 cup shortening
1-1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
3 cups unsifted flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (9 oz.) package None Such Condensed Mincemeat, crumbled

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, beat shortening and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs; beat well. Stir together dry ingredients; gradually add to shortening mixture. Mix well. Stir in mincemeat. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto greased baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Frost if desired.

Tip: For a more cake-like cookie, substitute 1-1/3 cups (1/2 of a 27 oz. jar) None Such Ready-To-Use Mincemeat (Classic Original or Brandy and Rum) for condensed mincemeat."

p.s. I've never made these cookies. Thanks for all your great comments and tips. I see that Wegman's carries the boxed None Such Mincemeat, and hope to find it there this week and make a trial of these cookies before Christmas. I have loved reading in the comments about everyone's traditions! Olde Christmas is the best Christmas! :-) Grandma knew best. :-)

I was wondering if Borden’s still mfg. the condensed mincemeat. Now, I’m delighted to find the mincemeat cookie recipe!!! My family LOVES mincemeat, so I know they’re in for a new treat, along with the awaited “pie”!!

How do you adjust this recipe for altitude? I live at 7,200 feet.

Last christmas i had 2 jars of Non such mincemeat I had almost a full jar left so it's been in fridge since then, question is will it be
alright to use in cookies ?
Thank you,
Karen Hansen

I just found 5 boxes of condensed mincemeat in my partners fridge. I’m excited to make cookies based on all these reviews. I have never had any as it’s not part of my upbringing but I’m excited to make and try these!

Loved reading all the testimonies and stories of growing up around this one cookie. My husband asked me to make these for his friend and mentor who is 89 yrs old. He said it was his and his wife's favorite cookie. For she has passed on a few years ago now. He said that he has not had anyone make him these since his wife's passing. I am very excited and honored to be making these for him. I personally have never heard of such a cookie and had to do some research. I just hope I can make them the way he remembers.
