Oatmeal Currant Cookies
This is a delicious variation of the traditional oatmeal raisin cookie. Currants are so much tastier in the oatmeal cookie. The little currants are full of flavor and compliment the cookies very nicely. My mom made lots of oatmeal raisin cookies when I was a kid, and I absolutely love them. I am always trying to find different variations for oatmeal cookies.
