MARTHA STEWART'S LEMON-CURRANT COOKIES



Martha Stewart's Lemon-Currant Cookies image

When a Black Corinth grape is dried, it becomes a 'currant'! These cookies are from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food website. They have such great flavor. Her recipe says to bake for 20 minutes but I found that mine browned around the edges in 10 minutes. I posted her recipe as written but just wanted to let you know to start checking at 10 minutes.

LEMON CURRANT COOKIES



Lemon Currant Cookies image

Such a delightful cookie; One tablespoon of lemon zest in a batch goes a long way; Each delicate silver-dollar-size cookie bursts with a refreshing lemon flavor. Chopped raisins can be replaced for the currants, which are actually very small raisins!!
