These longtime family favorites are crisp on the outside, slightly chewy in the center and full of currants. The dough is not overly sweet, so sprinkling the tops with sugar enhances the flavor and gives them a nice look.Wendy Lehman, Huron, Ohio Ingredients:

1 cup cold butter, cubed |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup quick-cooking oats |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2 eggs |
1/4 cup 2% milk |
1 cup dried currants |
additional sugar, optional |
