Mincemeat Cookies

My version of a mincemeat cookie, heavily adapted from this recipe for luxury mincemeat cookies

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 60

Ingredients

  • 200 grams Butter
  • 250 grams Light brown sugar
  • 3 Medium Eggs
  • 70 ml Clementine Orange & Bergamot Cordial
  • 200 grams Self raising flour
  • 250 grams Plain flour
  • 100 grams Chopped walnuts
  • 425 grams Mincemeat

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/Gas Mark 7, and line baking trays with parchment.

  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. 

  3. Then add the eggs and cordial and combine. 

  4. Add the mincemeat and chopped walnuts and combine.

  5. Sift in both flours and again, combine. The mixture should be a soft sticky batter.

  6. Using a teaspoon for the smaller version of the cookies, spoon the batter onto the trays, being careful to leave enough room for the batter to spread. 

  7. Pop into the oven in batches. The smaller cookies will take around 8 minutes to cook and turn golden, the larger cookies will take closer to 15 minutes. 

  8. Cool the cookies on a wire rack and enjoy with a cup of tea and some festive telly.
