FAT RASCALS
Makes 18 two-inch round cookies or 5 dozen mini stars
2 cups flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup butter, cut in six pieces, softened
2/3 cup currants
2 – 4 tablespoons milk
Additional sugar for topping
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large mixing bowl. With your fingers, rub the butter into the dry mixture until crumbly. Stir in the currants and enough milk to produce a soft dough. Gather the dough to form a ball.
Lightly dust a flat work surface with flour. With a rolling pin or glass bottle, roll the dough into a disc about ½ inch thick (or 1/4 inch for mini stars). Cut the dough in two-inch rounds with a cup (or use a small star-shaped cookie cutter for the mini stars).
Brush off the excess flour and arrange the cookies an inch apart on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the cookies with sugar and bake at 400F until golden, 16 – 20 minutes (or about 9 minutes for mini stars).
