Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams rolled oats
- 100 grams dried currants
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the rolled oats and dried currants until evenly distributed in the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
