MINCEMEAT BARS

Steps:

• For Cookie Mix: COMBINE flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. To measure, spoon mix into measuring cup and level with a spatula.
• Extra Cookie Mix can be stored in covered container up to 6 weeks at room temperature. For longer storage, place in freezer.
• For Bars: HEAT oven to 350°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch baking pan with no-stick cooking spray. Combine cookie mix, oats and eggs in large bowl, stirring with a spoon until mixed. Reserve about 3/4 cup of the mixture. Pat remaining mixture in bottom of prepared pan. Spread mincemeat evenly over base. Finely crumble reserved oat mixture on top of mincemeat.
• BAKE about 45 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool. Mix powdered sugar and ginger. Stir in enough milk to make drizzling consistency (about 5 teaspoons). Drizzle over bars in pan. Cut into bars.
