I gave this cookie 3 stars because most of my family gave it 2, but my extremely picky son gave it a 5. It may be that we are just not used to the taste of mincemeat. I'd never had it before today. I also had trouble getting them done. I baked mine for more that 8 minutes each and left them on the pans until the next batch was out of the oven, and they're still very soft. I also got nearly 4 dozen cookies from this recipe.

These did not turn out well for me. I am cookie baking challenged. I used unsalted butter for the shortening. Baking them "8 minutes or until lightly browned", they were very under cooked. By the third sheet, I was up to 20 minutes of baking and they were medium brown and finally, cooked. Also, this recipe made nearly 4 dozen 3 1/2 inch cookies, not 2 dozen.
