Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups mincemeat (a 28-ounce jar has a little over 2 cups; I use it all)
  • 2-1/2 cups flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. (205 C.)and grease a cookie sheet.
  • Put all ingredients in a medium to large bowl and mix thoroughly. Dough is quite moist.
  • Drop dough by tablespoons onto cookie sheet.
  • Bake each sheet about 10 minutes until the edges of the cookies are brown as in the photo. You don’t want to overbake them, but if the edges aren’t just barely brown the centers will be raw.
  • When done, let cookies sit on the cookie sheet just for a minute to firm up before using a spatula to move them to a plate or cooling rack.
  • Let cookie sheet cool before putting next batch on or they’ll spread out too much.
