Ingredients:

2 cups of butter softened

1 cup sugar

1 egg

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tbsp. orange juice

2 tbsp. vanilla

1 tsp. baking powder

3 cups powdered sugar

1/3 cup butter softened

2 to 3 tbsp. milk

Directions:

1. Combine 1 cup butter, sugar and egg in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add flour, orange juice, vanilla and baking powder. Beat until well mixed.

2. Divide dough into thirds; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm (2 hours or overnight).

3. Heat oven to 400. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface, one third at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with 3 inch cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.

4. Bake for 6 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool completely.

5. Combine powdered sugar, 1/3 cup butter and 1 tsp. vanilla in small bowl.

6. Beat at a low speed, gradually adding milk for desired spreading consistency. Frost and decorate cooled cookies as desired.

Bon Appetit!
