I admit I tagged this recipe because of the mincemeat, NOT for the coffee! However, I did use a mildly brewed coffee (don't even know if that's how to phrase it!), & frosted HALF the cookies for my coffee-loving other half, & I admit even the frosted ones were good ~ The unfrosted ones were GREAT, though! Thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's PAC]

I am a nurse who lives and works in Northern New York State, not far from Lake Placid. I am owned by several cats and a dog. Quilting is my passion! I also like to cook, make greeting cards, read and spend time out doors. It would be hard for me to choose one cookbook that is my favorite! I love to collect cookbooks, especially those little spiral bound books produced by small organizations and local groups.
