Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup creme de cassis
- Coarse sanding sugar, for sprinkling
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Put butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs and creme de cassis, and mix until combined. Add flour mixture, and mix on low speed until smooth.
- Divide dough in half, and wrap each half in plastic; refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour. Working with 1 half at a time, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick, and cut into 3-inch squares. Space 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Reroll scraps; repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake cookies until golden brown all over, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

this ended up being a very boring cookie. You couldn't taste any hint of the cassis so it was pretty much just a sugar cookie in the end.
I think this might be the most dull cookie I have ever mad from this book. I am sorry I wasted my time and effort getting cassis. Boring. Make something else.
Muy buena la receta el cassis le da un sabor especial y muy agradable
to sub for alcohol in recipe, use black currant italian soda syrup or black currant jam.
Meant to add, not in the amount show for the liquor, but guess I would have to add some other liquid to replace? Any suggestions?
I do not have liquor of any kind so couldn't I just add a regular bottled flavoring?
to kitkath. I'm sure you could use any cordial that you like the flavor of. Just think about a cookie flavored with each cordial you have, and try which ever sounds the best to you.
What other flavor can I use??? I have other cordials but not that one. thanks

As stated in the description above "Creme de cassis is a black-currant-flavored liqueur that adds great flavor to these crispy cookies."
