    Source of Recipe


    William Keeling and the None Such Mincemeat Jar


    Recipe Introduction


    Our family has found that either you love these cookies or you don't like them at all. My daughter loves them.


    List of Ingredients


    • 3 1/4 cups flour or 3 1/2 cups flour if using butter
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 cup shortening or 1 cup + 2 Tablespoons butter - softened
    • 1 1/2 cups sugar
    • 3 eggs beaten well
    • 1/2 jar mincemeat [1 1/3 cups]


    Instructions


    1. Preheat oven to 400.
    2. Mix flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside.
    3. Cream shortening [or butter]; add sugar gradually. Cream until fluffy. Add eggs and beat until smooth. Stir in mincemeat. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing well.

    4. Drop by teaspoon fulls on greased baking sheet. Bake to 8 to 12 minutes. Depends on type of cookie sheet and how big your "teaspoon fulls" are.
    5. Makes 5 1/2 to 7 dozen cookies.


    Final Comments


    I haven't tried it yet, but I am going to put some chopped pecans these cookies the next time I make them. I will follow up when I do.
