Korendekager (currant Biscuits)

Dee514's Note:

Posted in reply to a request for a Danish butter cookie recipe. This recipe is from my old (1973) "Common Market Cookbook/Denmark." The yield for this recipe isn't given in the book and its been so long since I've made them, I really don't remember how many cookies it makes.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 batch

• 7 ounces butter
• 7 ounces sugar
• 4 ounces currants
• 4 ounces plain flour
• 4 ounces desiccated coconut
• 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder

Directions:

1. Cream butter and sugar.
2. Add all remaining ingredients and stir until smooth.
3. With a teaspoon, place dots of dough on a well-greased baking sheet.
4. Do not place cookies too close, as they spread while baking.
5. Bake in a fairly hot oven (400°F, 200°C, GM 6) for 10 minutes until golden brown.
6. Leave to cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before removing.

This recipie looks like gourmet pornography. Do you see that fat content in the nutritional facts? If someone wants to break a diet, and break bad, this would be the way to go... *I'll be making some this evening* ha!
