Ooooh yes, that’s right, here are my MINCE PIE COOKIES!! I know, I know, they look and sound epic. I couldn’t get over how many people were asking for these beauties, so here you go!<\/p>\n

They are so easy, a delicious twist on a classic few bakes, and combine my favourite things so what’s not to love about them!?<\/p>\n

Festive Baking<\/h3>\n

Can we take a minute to appreciate it’s a new Christmas recipe for this year, finally, and I AM SO EXCITED. I adore Christmas baking, as you all know by now, and these mince pie cookies are just next level. <\/p>\n

I have done so many delicious Christmas themed cookies already such as my gingerbread NYC cookies<\/a>, my Christmas pudding cookies<\/a>, and of course the classic gingerbread<\/a> but these beauties are just oh HELLO.<\/p>\n

I am a firm believer in making festive baking as fun as possible, and these are just fun and a little different and so far have proved so popular with all mince pie lovers out there. <\/p>\n

Mincemeat<\/h3>\n

I have a few mincemeat related bakes in my world now, including my mince pie crumble bars<\/a> which I LOVE, as well as my homemade mince pies<\/a>. The mince pies<\/a> themselves are easier to make than you think, and the crumble bars<\/a> are another fun twist on a bake. <\/p>\n

Whenever I make my mincemeat, I use the recipe on the recipes above, as it’s just so easy. I tend to make up a batch anyway because I know I will inevitably be baking them anyway, so nabbing a little of that for these cookies is worth it. <\/p>\n

You can also use shop bought mincemeat, there is NOTHING wrong with that. You don’t need much for these cookies, so I don’t blame you. <\/p>\n

All you need to do is scoop a heaped spoonful onto a lined tray, and freeze for as long as possible. It may not freeze completely solid, but you want it to have thickened and be easier to push cookie dough around the mincemeat to make it less of a sticky mess. <\/p>\n

Cookie Dough<\/h3>\n

So the cookie dough for these cookies is the same as all the others\u2026 and can you really blame me?! It\u2019s the best cookie dough out there and it works to wrap around a filling<\/p>\n
