This was my grandmother’s secret recipe. We always made Welsh Current Cookies only at Christmas since they were very special. I have continued the tradition every year since my grandmother passed, it’s like having her back with us.

I am a Welsh-born American and I love Welsh Cakes.

Add one or two slices of fresh bread to a closed container of Welsh Cakes…. Awesome way to prevent dry-out as well as revitalizes semi-dry cakes.

Wow. This is the first time I’ve seen mention of what we call “Welsh Cookies” anywhere besides within my family! How neat to see this post! This recipe has been passed down within my family for generations. Ours is very similar, we use raisins, not currants, and don’t add sugar on the outside. But I’ve never seen them anywhere else! Reading this brought back good memories, I think I’ll have to make a batch this week now!
