Background

You can make many different types of treats with mincemeat such as these mincemeat star cookies (see more recipes with mincemeat here>>). I used ready rolled shortcrust pastry, but feel free to make your own special pastry, which can be vegan or gluten-free too.

Ingredients

1 pack sweet short crust pastry
½ jar mincemeat ( approx.)
1 tsp Cinnamon powder
1 Tbsp Icing sugar
Icing sugar, to dust

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Mix the cinnamon powder with icing sugar and dust the pastry with this. Spread some mincemeat all over the pastry.
Turn the pasty over and flatten it with a rolling pin into a thin, about 3 mm thick, pastry.
Using a cookie cutter, cut out star shapes.
Put these on a baking tray, lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden.
Let them cool, then dust with icing sugar just before serving.
