Step 1: Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2: In a large bowl, beat shortening and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and mix well.
Step 3: Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing well after each addition. Stir in mincemeat and combine well.
Step 4: Drop the mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto the baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Step 5: Cool on wire rack. For crisper cookies, allow to cool completely before covering; for softer cookies; cover when just slightly cooled.
