The recipe for these came from a terrific cookbook called The New Best Recipe, which explains how the writers/bakers arrived at the final recipe, through much experimentation and trial and error. This cookie came out nice and plump, unlike many oatmeal cookies, which bake into a wide, flat oily disk. Usually made with raisins, the currants made for a nice size within the cookie. Chopped almonds would have also made a nice addition. Next time.
