makes 2 logs of cookie dough, about 4 dozen cookies
1 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup sugar
l egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup of small black currants or 1 cup of mini-chocolate chips
Combine the butter, sugars, egg and vanilla until light and fluffy. Combine the flour and baking soda. Stir into the butter mixture and mix well. Stir in the currants (or chocolate chips). Shape into 12-inch logs. Cover with plastic wrap and chill thoroughly until the logs are firm. Slice into 1/4-inch pieces. Place onto ungreased cookie sheets. I like to bake my cookies on "Silpat" rubber baking mats.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
This is a recipe from our childhood! Hazel Stitt and I have been sharing recipes for the last 36 years and this one is a winner. You can keep the "logs" in the refrigerator for a least a week, or one could easily freeze some logs to have on hand during the busy holidays. One could also become very creative and substitute the currants or chips with other small treats.
