Ingredients
- 250g unsalted butter, softened
- 140g sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- Grated zest of 1 clementine
- 300g flour
- 411g jar fruit mincemeat
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4 and line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper.
- Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until creamy. Add the egg yolk and clementine zest and beat again to combine.
- Sift in the flour then fold through most of the mincemeat and stir until the mixture starts to come together – use your hands to make a dough, if needed.
- Pull off little biscuit-sized clumps of dough, space them evenly over the trays and gently press down slightly to shape into cookies. Dot a little of your saved mince on top of each cookie
- Put them in the oven for 10 minutes, or till golden but still a bit doughy in the middle.
- Serve warm, or turn onto a wire rack to cool, then store in an airtight container.
