SOOKHE FALSE KE BISCUIT (COOKIES) / MARTHA STEWART'S LEMON CURRANT COOKIES

 

Try out these delicious lemon currant cookies from Martha Stewart's collection. Her recipes always come out perfect if you follow the exact measurements. These cookies have a softer texture inside but are nice and firm on the outside. They taste Divine with sweet and tangy flavours blended together. 
If you want to make an eggless version skip the egg and add little more baking powder and 2 tbsps of milk. 



Ingredients:
All purpose flour / maida ......  3/4 cup
Unsalted butter ...................... 1/4 cup
Icing sugar  .........................  1/2 cup
Sour cream ......................... 1/8 cup
Egg ...................................... 1
Baking powder ................... 1/8 tsp
Salt ..................................... 1/8 tsp
Dried currants ..................... 1/4 cup
Lemon zest ........................ 1 tsp
( all ingredients at room temperature)

Method:
1. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder.
2. In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar until fluffy.
3. Add the sour cream and egg. Beat them until well blended.
4. Now spoon in the sifted flour little by little and continue beating until all the flour is used up.
5. Mix the lemon zest and black currants.
6. Put a large nozzle into a piping bag and transfer the cookie mixture into it. 
7. Pre-heat the oven.
8. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and grease it well with butter.
9. Pipe out the cookies leaving 1 and 1/2 inch space between them as they will flatten on baking.
10. Bake @ 180 C for 12 to 15 minutes. Keep a check after 10 minutes. The time may vary a bit depending on the type of the oven and the size of the cookies.
11. When you see the edge becoming brownish they are done. Let them cool well before removing from the tray.
12. These cookies have a softer texture inside but are nice and firm on top.

Yield : 3 dozen cookies of medium size or 2 dozen larger size.
