Looking for a tasty, easy, and simple snack to eat with your milk or tea? Or a cookie to bake your Heavy Metal loved one? Then these cookies are for you!!
I saw this recipe on Kitchen Vignettes and couldn’t help but try and put my own spin on it. Aube does great work and will make your stomach hungry in an instant.
As always, put on a record before you start. I recommend the new Deströyer 666 LP, “WILDFIRE.” I’ve had the pleasure of seeing these Australians a few years ago and am thankful that they exist. Seriously…check out the new album here and be sure to GO BUY IT at your local record store. And if they don’t have it, complain to management immediately.
What you will need:
Ingredients:
1 cup of Butter (2 sticks, room temperature)
3/4 cup Cane Sugar (scant or a little less)
1 egg
1/2 tsp. Sea Salt (the Kosher stuff is top notch)
2 1/2 cups Rye Flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill flour)
3/4 cup Dried Currants
Tools:
KitchenAid Mixer (or a large bowl to cream butter and sugar)
Spatula
Parchment Paper
Baking pans
Get your bowl or KitchenAid ready (spatula for the bowl, standard beater for KitchenAid). Place the butter in the bowl along with the sugar and combine. Once creamed together, add your egg, salt, and currants and mix well.
Next, tip in your flour bit by bit until a nice dough ball is formed. Flour your work surface lightly and take the dough ball out onto it. Break in two and begin to form them into “logs” that are about an 1-1/2 or 2 inch thickness.
Once you have two “logs” wrap them separately in parchment paper and place in your fridge for one hour.
In the meantime, your record should be done with side A. Flip it, headbang, drink a beer, and then go preheat your oven to 350ºF.
Get two baking pans out and be sure to butter them or use parchment paper to prevent stick.
Grab the logs, place them on your work station and begin to cut them at about 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch thickness. This will produce plenty of cookies (I got about three or so dozen).
Once your pans are filled, place them in the preheated oven for about 15–18 minutes. Watch them the last few minutes so they don’t burn. What you want is a nice golden edge.
After they are baked, let cool on pans for a minute, then place onto a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat the cutting and baking steps for the rest of your batch.
Share, eat, enjoy, repeat! These cookies are easy and tasty. Perfect for your Heavy Metal Bloodlust…or whatever you want to to call it.
