Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground cloves. Mix them together until a smooth dough forms.

2. Once the dough is formed, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a baking sheet with olive oil.

4. Take the chilled dough out of the fridge and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.

5. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out circles from the dough and place them on the greased baking sheet.

6. In the center of each circle, place about a teaspoon of the minced pie filling.

7. Fold the edges of the dough towards the center, creating a small pocket with the filling inside.

8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Serve and enjoy your delicious mince pie cookies! You can also dust them with some extra powdered sugar for a sweeter touch. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
