Soft Mincemeat Cookies image

WE CALL these "Santa's cookies" because they're what we put out for Santa instead of the usual decorated Christmas cutouts. These cookies remain a traditional part of my holiday baking. 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

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out a bit dry. I think I might have overbaked them. Next time, I'll bake them for a few minutes less.
