Ingredients
1 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
3 cups unsifted flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package (9-oz) condensed mincement, crumbled
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°.
In large mixer bowl, beat shortening and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs; beat well.
Stir together dry ingredients; gradually add to shortening mixture. Mix well. Stir in condensed mincement.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto greased baking sheets. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. (Decorate cookies with white icing or gels if desired.)
Tip: For a more cake-like cookie, substitute 1 1/2 cups (half 27-ounce jar) ready-to-use mincement (regular or brandy & rum) for condenced mincement.
