Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups quick cooking rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 11 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup currants, soaked in 2 tablespoons brandy or orange juice, optional

Preparation:

Heat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, flour, sugar, baking soda and salt; set aside. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. In a small bowl beat the egg together with the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Stir in soaked currants if using.

Stir in melted butter. Stir the liquid ingredients into the oat-flour mixture and blend well. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets. Cookies will spread, so leave at least 3 to 4 inches between each cookie.

Bake 5 to 6 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool on cookie sheets for several minutes, until cookies will hold their shape. With a spatula, carefully remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
Makes about 3 to 4 dozen cookies.
