Mince Pie Cookies
  1. Spoon 10 mincemeat balls onto a baking paper-lined tray. Freeze for 1 hour.

  2. Meanwhile, heat butter in a saucepan over a medium heat until it turns a deep golden-brown and smells nutty. Cool to room temp.

  3. Beat the sugars and brown butter until light and creamy.

  4. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest and orange zest.

  5. In a separate bowl, mix flour, bicarb of soda, dried spices and @maldonsalt Sea Salt.

  6. Gradually, add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula.

  7. Fold in the mixed nuts.

  8. Divide the dough into 10 balls (approx. 74g each). Flatten the ball in the palm of your hand and stuff with a mincemeat ball. Mould the cookie dough around the mincemeat until fully concealed.

  9. Cover dough balls. Refrigerate for 2-24 hours.

  10. Pre-heat oven to 180°C (fan). Line trays with baking paper and space the dough balls out.

  11. Bake cookies for 10 mins.

  12. Remove and bang on the counter 3 times. Then, apply a circular motion using a cookie cutter (a small bowl would work) until the cookies recoil.

  13. Bake for 5 more mins.

  14. Remove from the oven and re-apply circular motion around each cookie.

  15. Whilst they're still hot, sprinkle liberally with @maldonsalt Salt Sea Salt.

  16. Cool on the baking tray for at least 20 mins before carefully transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling completely.
