Ingredients

FOR THE COOKIES:
1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
1/2 cups Vegetable Oil
1 whole Egg, Lightly Beaten
1 whole Lemon, Zested
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Cream Of Tartar
1/2 teaspoons Salt
2 cups All-purpose Flour
1/2 cups Currants
_____
FOR THE GLAZE:
1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
2 teaspoons Milk

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 375°F.
2

Whisk together the powdered sugar and regular sugar, and then add the oil, egg, lemon zest, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Mix well.
3

Add flour and currants to the dough and then scoop out small balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
4

Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes-they will be pale but just starting to get golden around the edges. Let cool completely before glazing.
5

To make the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar and milk. You want the icing to be very thick so it won't run all over the cookies. Stuff icing into a plastic bag, cut off the corner of the bag and then use the glaze to make crosses on each cookie once cool.
