During Thanksgiving I got to ask my Great Aunt about mincemeat pie. It has always been a fascination because it sounds disgusting. She said it was an acquired taste but noted that the jarred “mincemeat” found in the grocery store is a better option if the meat is a turnoff. Although, I have yet to muster up enough courage to actually make mincemeat from scratch, I thought these mincemeat cookies were a good start.

Mincemeat Mini Pie Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 Jar Mincemeat (purchased at the grocery store around Thanksgiving/Christmas)
• 1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Carefully unroll crescent roll dough
• Using a biscuit cutter (2″) cut out circles and press them into greased mini muffin tin.
• Scoop a tsp of mincemeat filling into each dough cup.
• With remaining dough cut and place shapes for the top of each cup. I used stars but other shapes will work too.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes until dough is golden brown. Let cool completely before attempting to move.
