Melt the coconut oil, then mix with the margarine and sugar until smooth

Add the flour, vanilla and mincemeat and stir well. The mixture will be quite soft at this point. Don't worry!

Place the dough into a greased round tin approx. 18cm in diameter and firm down well, smoothing it off on the top

Score the dough where you would like to cut it...making sure you do not go all the way through the dough. This will make it easier to cut when it is cooked

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 160 degrees (140 degree fan) for 35-40 minutes until firm to touch

Whilst still warm sprinkle with white sugar and leave to cool completely in the tin before cutting

If you can tolerate dairy then use 4oz butter with 6oz flour and 2oz sugar for a perfect shortbread!
