Mincemeat Cookies
I found my mom's recipe for mincemeat cookies. She used to make these just for me, and I found where she had written the recipe inside the cover of one of her cook books. When I stopped crying, I baked cookies
 I can't believe she's been gone almost 4 years. She was my very best friend. Anyway...the cookies are good * 1 cup butter, softened * 1 1/2 cups sugar * 3 eggs * 1 jar prepared mincemeat pie filling * 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour * 1 teaspoon baking powder * 1 teaspoon baking soda * 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon * 1/4 teaspoon salt * 1 cup chopped pecans In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs. Add mincemeat; mix well. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in pecans. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 14-16 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Hey Betsi! I bet Gary would love these cookies - no he doesn't need them - but hey! it is the Holiday Season!!!
He loves mincemeat pie - although I make the "mock mincemeat" (apples, oranges and spices all cooked together) for my pie. I'm going to have to make these cookies for him!

Betsi! I made the mincemeat cookies tonight (in fact I'm not finished baking them all yet) and Gary LOVED them. He asked where in the world did I get a mincemeat cookie recipe.
He's going to the deer lease on Friday and I always have to send something along that he can eat quickly in case of low blood sugar, and these are PERFECT! Thanks so much for sharing your mom's recipe! I know you miss her lots, but she is still making people happy!

I will tell him, for sure! And guess what 3-year old Emma loved them too! But we couldn't tell her the name 'mincemeat' cuz she's not much of a "meat" eater and she probably wouldn't have tried one!
