3 c Confectioners' sugar
1/4 c Butter; melted
1 1/2 ts Orange juice concentrate;

1 ts Vanilla extract
3 tb Whole milk; up to 4 tb
Food coloring and sprinkles

In a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening, and sugars until
light and fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating
well after each addition. Beat in orange juice concentrate and
vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to
creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until dough is
easy to handle, about 2 hours.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4" thickness. Cut
with a 3" star-shaped cookie cutter dipped in flour. Place 1" apart
on ungreased baking sheets. Bake @ 350 F/175 C until edges are
firm, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
For frosting, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, orange
juice concentrate, vanilla, and enough milk to reach spreading
consistency. Tint with food coloring if desired. Frost cookies;
decorate as desired.
