Tips:

  • Use fresh mincemeat: Fresh mincemeat will give your cookies the best flavor. If you can't find fresh mincemeat, you can make your own using a recipe from a reliable source.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them until they are just set, and then let them cool on a wire rack before icing them.
  • Use a good quality coffee icing: The coffee icing is what really makes these cookies special. Use a good quality coffee that you enjoy drinking, and make sure the icing is thick enough to hold its shape.
  • Decorate the cookies as desired: You can decorate the cookies with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other decorations of your choice. Get creative and have fun!
