How to Make Mincemeat Drop Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the 1 cup (2 sticks) shortening and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done using a stand or hand mixer.
- Beat in the 1 large egg until well combined.
- Stir in 2 cups mincemeat until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may still appear slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
