When moving into a new apartment with my four children I had no way of cooking yet. Our new neighbors brought these over and I had to get the recipe. My family loves them, but I only make them for the Holidays. They are special. The same recipe is used for either Mincemeat or Apple. I use Vanilla for the apples instead of the Almond. I took them to work for a cookie pig out for the employees and they were a rave sensation with many requests for the recipe. Now you have it and I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
