Method

  • Step 1Place the butter and both sugars in a kitchen aid bowl and mix for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Step 2Add in the egg to the bowl and mix again. Make sure that you scrape the sides so that all of it is incorporated. 
  • Step 3Sieve in the flour and bicarbonate into the bowl then also add in the chopped chocolate. Place it on low mixing speed and mix until it forms a dough. 
  • Step 4Tip onto a bench and shape the dough into balls weighing between 30g-40g. 
  • Step 5Place these onto a lined baking tray and leave in the fridge covered for at least 1 hour.
  • Step 6Once hardened up, using your thumb and index finger, create a well in the middle of the mincemeat to in. 
  • Step 7Place between 4-5 cookies on a baking tray making sure you leave enough room for them to spread slightly. 
  • Step 8Take your mincemeat and place a teaspoon of the mix in the well you created. 
  • Step 9Bake these at 170 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. 
  • Step 10Remove from the tray and finish with a dusting of icing sugar and fresh orange zest.
