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.

Yield 5 dozen, 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, plus more for baking sheets
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dried currant
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter two baking sheets, or line them with parchment paper.
  • Combine the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl; beat until light and fluffy. Beat in sour cream and egg.
  • In a separate bowl; whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually beat the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until they are well combined.
