Alison’s Orange Mincement Squares
Alison’s Orange Mincement Squares
I don’t know why she called them squares, they are individual cookies.
2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
¼ c sugar
½ c melted shortening
2 eggs
½ tsp orange extract
1 tbsp orange rind
¾ c mincemeat
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
Add sugar to the melted shortening and mix well.
Add eggs, beating until well blended.
Stir in orange extract and rind.
Gradually add flour mixture, stirring until smooth
Cover dough and place in refrigerator for several hours or until dough can be easily handled.
Preheat oven to 375F
Working with half the dough, roll out to 12 inch square on a floured surface.
Cut into 3 inch squares and place 1 tsp of mincement on each square.
Seal.
Repeat with 2nd half of the dough.
Bake at 375F for 12-15 minutes.
Makes 32.
