Flourless Oatmeal Cookies
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup dried currants
- In a medium bowl, whisk the oats with the cornstarch, cinnamon, cardamom and salt.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter with the sugar until pale yellow and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the side of the bowl between additions, then beat in the vanilla.
- Beat in the dry ingredients just until combined and fold in the currants.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough until chilled, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookies in two batches: Scoop 2 tablespoon-size mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart; press them down with your palm.
- Bake in the upper and lower thirds of the oven for about 17 minutes, until the cookies are golden brown around the edges but slightly soft in the center; shift the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through.
- Let the cookies cool slightly, then, using a thin spatula, carefully transfer them to racks to cool completely.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
