Easy Mincemeat Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Mincemeat Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give your cookie sheets a light greasing to ensure those delicious treats don’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, grab your electric mixer and beat together the butter, sugar, and eggs until the mixture becomes light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Once you have that delightful texture, stir in the vanilla extract for a burst of flavor.

3. Step 3

   In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda.

4. Step 4

   Gradually add this dry mixture to your buttery blend, mixing gently until everything is just combined—be careful not to overmix, as we want those cookies to be tender.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to fold in the chopped walnuts and drained mincemeat, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough for a delightful crunch and rich taste.

6. Step 6

   Using a spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto your prepared cookie sheets, making sure to space them about 2 inches apart to give them room to spread.

7. Step 7

   Pop those sheets into your preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and your kitchen is filled with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked cookies.

   Enjoy the anticipation as you wait for them to cool just a bit before indulging in your homemade treats!.
