For best results, ensure the vegetable shortening is well-chilled. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too thin during baking. Use a high-quality mincemeat filling for the most flavorful cookies. Consider adding a tablespoon of brandy or dark rum to the mincemeat for an extra depth of flavor. These cookies are delicious served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Apr 18, 2024I added a little bit of orange zest to the dough, which gave them a lovely citrusy note. Will definitely make them again!
