Mincemeat Cookies*** 1 cup shortening 1 1/2 cups sugar 3 eggs. (I just blended this with my hands.....not a mixer.) 3 cups unsifted GF flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp Guar Gum 1 box of Mincemeat I just worked the dough with my hands. I then dipped the cookie dough with an ice cream scoop. I divided that scoop into 2 balls and place on the parchment paper (I love parchment paper now!!!) I then flattened the dough with the palm of my hand and baked the cookies at 375 degrees for about 13 minutes. (due to the altitude and humidity, check your oven and adjust the time for your cookies.)
