Festive Baking

I’m a agency believer in making festive baking as enjoyable as doable, and these are simply enjoyable and a little bit completely different and thus far have proved so in style with all mince pie lovers on the market. 

Mincemeat

I’ve just a few mincemeat associated bakes in my world now, together with my mince pie crumble bars which I LOVE, in addition to my selfmade mince pies. The mince pies themselves are simpler to make than you suppose, and the crumble bars are one other enjoyable twist on a bake. 

Each time I make my mincemeat, I take advantage of the recipe on the recipes above, because it’s simply really easy. I are likely to make up a batch anyway as a result of I do know I’ll inevitably be baking them anyway, so nabbing a little bit of that for these cookies is price it. 

You can too use store purchased mincemeat, there’s NOTHING improper with that. You don’t want a lot for these cookies, so I don’t blame you. 

All you should do is scoop a heaped spoonful onto a lined tray, and freeze for so long as doable. It could not freeze fully strong, however you need it to have thickened and be simpler to push cookie dough across the mincemeat to make it much less of a sticky mess. 

Cookie Dough

So the cookie dough for these cookies is similar as all of the others… and may you actually blame me?! It’s the perfect cookie dough on the market and it really works to wrap round a filling

• Butter – Whether or not its baking unfold, butter, or a margarine – all of them work for these cookies. I take advantage of fridge chilly baking unfold, or room temp block butter. 
• Sugar – I used simply gentle brown tender sugar to assist the flavour – however you should utilize a combination or white granulated and light-weight brown sugar. 
• Egg – I have a tendency to make use of medium eggs in my bakes, however you should utilize one giant egg as an alternative of. 
• Vanilla – Elective, however provides a scrumptious flavour. 
• Flour – All the time use plain flour in your cookies!! 
• Elevating brokers – For these, I take advantage of bicarbonate of soda and baking powder. 
• Salt – I all the time add sea salt to my cookies as a result of it’s scrumptious, however you may positively go away it out, or use salted butter

Baking

After getting made the cookie dough for these, it’s a bit messy, however completely price it. I make the cookie dough and cut up them into 10 cookies (it’s about 90g per cookie). 

You wish to flatten the cookie dough portion within the palm of your hand, add the mincemeat to the center, and attempt to wrap the cookie dough across the mincemeat and seal it in with none poking out.

I’ve tried this with solely freezing the mincemeat for an hour, and I did want to make use of a spoon to place the mincemeat onto the cookie dough, nevertheless it nonetheless labored, simply just be sure you have made the cookie dough portion sufficiently big so there’s sufficient cookie combination to only press over the mincemeat and seal. 

I bake these at 180ºc in my fan oven, and it labored wonders. 11 minutes on the dot and I had a scrumptious cookie, which had unfold barely to the right form, with no leakages!
