Easter Cookie Glaze

Ingredients:
1 Egg white; lightly beaten
2 tb powdered sugar

Directions:
Food Coloring (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). Grease several baking sheets with butter.
In a large bowl, beat butter with sugar until creamy. Beat in egg yolks, orange juice, and milk. Add currants.
Sift flour and salt into bowl; mix in to form a fairly stiff dough. Knead lightly on a floured surface until smooth.
Roll out to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a round 2-1/2-inch-fluted cookie cutter, cut out circles from dough; place on
prepared baking sheets. Knead and roll out trimmings; cut out more circles. Continue until dough is used up.
Bake cookies 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
Brush cookies with egg white mixture; sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar.
Return to oven for about 5 minutes longer or until lightly browned.
Remove from baking sheets to wire racks; cool. Store in an airtight container.
