I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts for pecans. The cookies were still delicious!

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

I'm not a huge fan of mincemeat, but these cookies were surprisingly good. They're not too sweet and the mincemeat flavor is subtle.
