Sunshine Orange Cookies
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!!
Steps
Cream shortening and sugar.
Add rest of ingredients and mix well.
Drop by rounded spoonfuls on a greased baking sheet.
Bake at 400 for 8-10 minutes or until just barely browned around the rim.
Allow to cool.
Then frost.
Frosting.
Cream sugar and butter together.
Add orange juice and zest.
Blend well.
I start with the smaller amount than add more to increase orange flavor to desired level.
Add milk a little at a time until frosting is spreadable.
