Sunshine Orange Cookies image

These are my favorite orange cookies. They are different from most recipes because they call for orange juice concentrate rather than just orange juice. They pack alot of pure orange flavor and are frosted with an orange buttercream frosting. Sunshine in a cookie!

Number Of Ingredients 14

2/3 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup orange juice concentrate
2 tablespoons orange zest
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 -2 tablespoon orange juice concentrate
1 -2 teaspoon orange zest
1 cup milk (approximately)
4 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Cream shortening and sugar.

  • ***Frosting***.
  • Cream sugar and butter together.

  • Add milk a little at a time until frosting is spreadable.
