How to Make Mincemeat Chews
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of shortening and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 1/2 cup molasses, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat well until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground ginger.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients (shortening mixture), mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups mincemeat and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
- Add 1 cup rolled oats and mix gently until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each chew.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Let the mincemeat chews cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
