List of Ingredients




3 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 jar mincemeat (or any mincemeat with pure rum and brandy)
1 cup chopped nuts

Frosting:
3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups lightly packed brown sugar
6 Tbsp. light cream
1 tsp rum extract
1 cup sifted icing sugar
Pecan halves, optional


Recipe



Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix well and set aside. Cream butter in large bowl with electric mixer until light. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in mincemeat and nuts. Add dry ingredients; stir until well combined. Drop small spoonfuls of batter 2 inches apart, onto greased baking sheets. Bake 1 dozen at a time, at 350º F. for 14 - 15 minutes, or until well done. Remove to wire racks. Cool completely.

Frosting: Melt butter in medium saucepan. Add brown sugar. Bring mixture to boil; boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Cool slightly. Stir in cream and extract. Gradually blend mixture into icing sugar and beat until smooth and slightly thickened. Spoon frosting over cookies. Decorate with pecan halves, if desired.
