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.

Time 40m

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.
  • 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.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but these cookies were surprisingly good! The lemon flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

These cookies are not as lemony as I expected. I would add more lemon zest to the dough next time.

I found these cookies to be a bit dry. I would add an extra egg yolk to the dough next time.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar by half next time.

These lemon currant cookies are a delightful treat! The combination of tangy lemon and sweet currants is perfectly balanced. The cookies are soft and chewy, with a slightly crispy exterior. I will definitely be making these again!
