Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (¼ cup is ½ stick/2oz)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar dark brown is also fine, packed
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour plain flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ½ cup mincemeat store bought or homemade

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Line a couple of baking sheets/trays with silicone mats or parchment paper.
  • Cream the butter, regular and brown sugars in a medium bowl with a handheld mixer (or immersion/stick blender) until well mixed and gently glossy. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix in.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, salt and mincemeat into the mixture and mix together so everything is well combined, but try not to over-mix. The mixture will be relatively soft.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to scoop the mixture then place the balls on the lined baking sheet with a little space between them (you can also use a tablespoon measure if you don't have a scoop). While they don't need to be perfect, round off any that seem very off-shaped. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
  • Bake the cookies for around 10-12 minutes until the cookies look dry and are just starting to brown on the base and edges. Allow to cool a minute before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
