Besides a plate for Santa, they fill gift plates for family and friends. I'm often told they're the first to disappear. -Evelyn Wadey, Blackfalds, Alberta

Tips:
- Use high-quality mincemeat: The mincemeat is the heart of these cookies, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a mincemeat that is made with real fruit and spices, and avoid mincemeats that are made with fillers like apple sauce or corn syrup.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and just set in the center. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
These mincemeat bar cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for the holiday season. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like your cookies chewy or crispy, with or without frosting, these cookies are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a holiday treat, give these mincemeat bar cookies a try. You won't be disappointed.
