I’m a agency believer in making festive baking as enjoyable as doable, and these are simply enjoyable and slightly completely different and to date have proved so widespread with all mince pie lovers on the market.

I’ve a couple of mincemeat associated bakes in my world now, together with my mince pie crumble bars which I LOVE, in addition to my selfmade mince pies. The mince pies themselves are simpler to make than you suppose, and the crumble bars are one other enjoyable twist on a bake. 

Each time I make my mincemeat, I exploit the recipe on the recipes above, because it’s simply really easy. I are likely to make up a batch anyway as a result of I do know I’ll inevitably be baking them anyway, so nabbing slightly of that for these cookies is price it. 

You may also use store purchased mincemeat, there may be NOTHING incorrect with that. You don’t want a lot for these cookies, so I don’t blame you. 

All you should do is scoop a heaped spoonful onto a lined tray, and freeze for so long as doable. It could not freeze utterly strong, however you need it to have thickened and be simpler to push cookie dough across the mincemeat to make it much less of a sticky mess.

Baking

After you have made the cookie dough for these, it’s a bit messy, however completely price it. I make the cookie dough and cut up them into 10 cookies (it’s about 90g per cookie). 

You wish to flatten the cookie dough portion within the palm of your hand, add the mincemeat to the center, and attempt to wrap the cookie dough across the mincemeat and seal it in with none poking out.

I’ve tried this with solely freezing the mincemeat for an hour, and I did want to make use of a spoon to place the mincemeat onto the cookie dough, but it surely nonetheless labored, simply just remember to have made the cookie dough portion large enough so there may be sufficient cookie combination to simply press over the mincemeat and seal. 

I bake these at 180ºc in my fan oven, and it labored wonders. 11 minutes on the dot and I had a scrumptious cookie, which had unfold barely to the proper form, with no leakages!
