2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
3 ˝ cups flour

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, beat margarine, sugar and eggs until creamy.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon.

Add the dry ingredients to the liquid mixture and continue to beat together until well mixed.

Add mincemeat (fruit mixture) and nuts. The batter will be too thick, so mix with your hands. Then chill for at least an hour.

Preheat oven to 375° F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper, and grease lightly.

Drop batter by teaspoonfuls (or small ice cream scoop) about 2” apart.

Bake 7-8 minutes until bottoms are golden brown.

Do not overbake.

Cool on cookie rack and serve. Best stored in an airtight container.
Recipe may be doubled and the cookies frozen.
