ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3⁄4 teaspoon white stevia powder

directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet (or use parchment paper) & set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder & nutmeg.
- Place butter in another mixing bowl & whisk until light & fluffy. Add the stevia & eggs (one at a time), whisking well after each egg. Add the flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time until thoroughly combined. Stir in the oats & currants.

I have been a Central Illinois resident all my life.
My hobbies include fishing with my husband, reading, counted cross stitch, and of course, cooking (especially baking)!
I currently work in an office, behind a desk, pushing paper. My dream would be to open my own bakery.
Spending time in the kitchen is very relaxing to me, and it keeps me connected to my domestic side!
