Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, olive oil, and granulated sugar until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, allspice, and salt.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until a dough forms.

5. Gently fold in the mincemeat, making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.

6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

7. Use a fork to lightly press down on each dough ball to flatten it slightly.

8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.

9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Enjoy your delicious mincemeat cookies with a cup of tea or coffee. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
