Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
***Frosting***
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
1 tablespoon milk, more if needed
Directions:
Combine 1 cup butter, sugar and egg in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add orange juice and vanilla; mix well. Reduce speed to low; add flour and baking powder. Beat until well mixed. Divide dough into thirds; wrap in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate until firm (2 to 3 hours). Heat oven to 400 Degrees F. Roll out dough on 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 on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 6 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool completely. Combine powdered sugar, 1/3 cup butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla in small bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often and adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency. Frost and decorate cooled cookies as desired.
