Time 40m

Yield Makes 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup (1 stick) 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 currants
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 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. Stir in currants and lemon zest.
  • Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of dough about 1 1/2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets. Bake until cookies are puffed and golden around the edges, about 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on baking sheets before transferring cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might add an extra egg next time to help them hold together better.

I love the idea of lemon currant cookies, but this recipe was just okay. The cookies were a bit bland and the lemon flavor was not very pronounced.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was good. I might try adding an extra egg next time to help hold them together.
