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 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

I'm allergic to currants. Do you think I could substitute another dried fruit, like raisins or cranberries?

These cookies are a bit dry. I think I'll add a little more butter next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead of walnuts. The cookies turned out great!

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of currants, so I omitted them from the recipe. The cookies were still delicious.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover lemon zest. I always have some on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

These cookies are a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I might try adding more sugar next time.

These lemon currant cookies are a delightful treat! The citrusy flavor of the lemon zest and the tartness of the currants complement each other perfectly. The cookies have a soft and chewy texture, and the glaze adds a nice finishing touch.
