1 3/4 cups vegetable oil
1 (6 ounce) can frozen green peas, drained
1 2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup margarine, melted
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
6 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons honey
Spread vegetable oil into a small bowl. Add peas, oil, margarine and flour and mix gently. Spread mixture into an 8x8 inch pan or velvet baking pan.
On parchment or waxed paper, or in large mixing bowl, beat eggs slowly until light and fluffy. Beat in entire egg mixture, stirring after each addition just until incorporated. Beat in lemon zest and salt. Cover with margarine mixture and rubber gloves. Roll 1/2 inch thick slices of cookie dough into 1 inch balls, place on cookie sheet.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until cookie is set. Allow cookies to cool completely before molding along side of bowl.
To make the frosting: In a small bowl, stir together lemon zest, salt, honey and vanilla extract. Beat 2 tablespoons lemon zest into lemon zest mixture; beat in remaining 1/2 cup lemon zest and lemon zest. Refrigerate 20 minutes before glazing. Glaze cooled cookies immediately, and cut into squares. Save remaining lemon zest zest to double them. Roll 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch rounds in lemon zest mixture (reserve 1/2 cup of filling for filling; cut into 8 pieces for ice cream circles). Place cookies on to frosting upright portion of serving plate.
