Cream shortening and sugar thoroughly.
Add well beaten eggs to creamed mixture and about half of the flour.
Mix well and add mincemeat. Sift the remaining flour with other dry ingredients and add to mixture.(The exact amount of flour needed varies with the amount of liquid in mincemeat, however the dough should be the consistency of a rolled dough.
Add chopped nuts.

These keep fairly well. Push a plump Maraschino Cherry into each unbaked cookie, if desired.
