Receta Mincemeat Cookies ~ The Old Fashioned Way
I have always loved mincemeat - pie with vanilla ice cream or cookies and cocoa. This is how we make them, except here I will substitute Borden's Nonesuch Mincemeat, or Robertson's (preferred) in a jar instead of homemade mincemeat. You can substitute your favorite shortening (vegetable works great) while I will use rendered leaf lard.
This is a superb mid-winter cookie, and has lots of nutrition and energy because mincemeat is loaded with minced apples and raisins and great spices. A real treat after skiing, snowmobiling or just hiking through the snowy woods.

- Using a teaspoon, drop the spoonfuls about 2 inches apart, filling each sheet

- Cool the cookies down (I like to slide the parchment paper to a rack for 15 or 20 minutes so he cookies can firm up before I rack them to dry a bit)
