How to Make Mincemeat Cookie Bars

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Add ½ cup vegetable oil and ½ cup milk to the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork until just combined and the mixture is crumbly.
Reserve 1 cup of the crumble mixture.
Press the remaining crumble mixture into the prepared baking pan.
Spread 2 cups of mincemeat evenly over the crust, leaving a small border (about ½ inch) around the edges.
Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture evenly over the mincemeat.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the edges are set.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Store loosely covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
