Just stumbled on this post after making the cookies…which are fantastic! Borden’s condensed mincemeat is available via amazon.com.

I found the mincemeat in Publix in Marathon, FL. I’ve also found it in winn Dixie in MS. Seems that southern states still stock it. I could not find it in MD. I add Pecans and candied fruit to the prize cookies. Makes them festive.
The none such prize cookies are my favorites! They are delicious and unique since you can not always find the mince meat
