Softened butter works best here, so it creams easily with the sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll also need a cup of sugar, divided, to cream with the butter and to dip the cookies into at the end.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg:<\/strong> An egg is the main binder in this cookie recipe, helping them fluff up as they bake and stay nice and moist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:<\/strong> All <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-cookies\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-cookies\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">types of cookies<\/a> are better with vanilla extract, if you ask us, especially mincemeat cookies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour and baking powder:<\/strong> This recipe also calls for dry ingredients like all-purpose flour and baking powder for the cookie batter, to give them a chewy, toothsome texture and help the cookies rise while baking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Condensed mincemeat:<\/strong> Premade mincemeat is easy to find on Amazon or in stores nowadays, but you could also go the homemade route and make your own, or use canned mincemeat rather than condensed. You&#8217;ll cut it into small pieces before adding it to the recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg white:<\/strong> A bit of egg white wash helps the sugar stick to the cookie dough more easily.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prep the creamed mixture<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2034435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mincemeat-Cookies_TOHD24_34655_AlejandroMonfort_12.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Of Home Mincemeat Cookies\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Alejandro Monfort for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F.

If you&#8217;d rather stick to the classics, make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mince-pies\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mince-pies\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">mini pies with mincemeat<\/a> instead of cookies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go nuts:<\/strong> Although mincemeat is usually made from a combo of dried fruits, nuts and sometimes meat, you can pack more nuts into this cookie recipe for added crunch. We love walnuts especially.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add oatmeal: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/chewy-oatmeal-cookies\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/chewy-oatmeal-cookies\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Oatmeal cookie<\/a> fanatics will appreciate the addition of oats in this recipe. Opt for rolled oats (not instant) if you choose to add them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Glaze the cookies:<\/strong> We kept things simple with a sugar-dusted coating on these cookies, but you could add a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/quick-vanilla-glaze\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/quick-vanilla-glaze\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">vanilla glaze<\/a> for a fancier cookie.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Mincemeat Cookies<\/h2>\n<p>Since this recipe yields four dozen cookies, chances are you&#8217;ll have leftovers. Transfer any remaining cookies to sealed, airtight containers or zip-top bags and store them on the counter or in the refrigerator until you&#8217;re ready for another bite.<\/p>\n<h3>How long do mincemeat cookies last?<\/h3>\n<p>These moist cookies will stay fresh for up to a week in the fridge, although we suggest consuming them within a couple of days if you leave them on the counter.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze cookies with mincemeat?<\/h3>\n<p>Sadly, not really. The texture just won&#8217;t be the same after you defrost them.<\/p>\n<h2>Mincemeat Cookie Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2034442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mincemeat-Cookies_TOHD24_34655_AlejandroMonfort_19.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Of Home Mincemeat Cookies\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Alejandro Monfort for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do I make mincemeat cookies taste better?<\/h3>\n<p>Try adding even more mincemeat to the recipe, or extra warming spices like cinnamon, allspice or nutmeg.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the secret to chewy mincemeat cookies?<\/h3>\n<p>Don&#8217;t skip the baking powder.
