Easter Currant Cookies Recipe

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Butter a cookie sheet.

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until creamy. Add the egg, beating until just blended. Mix in the flour to form a smooth dough. Knead in the currants.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll out to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. Gather the dough scraps, re-roll, and continue cutting out the cookies until all the dough is used.

Arrange on the prepared cookie sheets, placing them 1 inch apart. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer to racks to cool.
