Soft Mincemeat Cookies image

WE CALL these "Santa's cookies" because they're what we put out for Santa instead of the usual decorated Christmas cutouts. These cookies remain a traditional part of my holiday baking. Besides a plate for Santa, they fill gift plates for family and friends. I'm often told they're the first to disappear. -Evelyn Wadey, Blackfalds, Alberta

I wasn't able to find mincemeat at my local grocery store, so I used apple butter instead. The cookies still turned out great!
