Ingredients
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup dried currants
1 cup milk, or as needed
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease some cookie sheets. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, eggs, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. In another bowl, sift the flour and baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Stir in currants. Add milk gradually until the flour mixture blends with the butter mix. Use a spoon to place the mix onto cookie sheets. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven or until golden brown. Cool it on a wire rack. Serve immediately or keep in a cookie jar in a cool dry place.
