Ingredients

1 ¼ cups sugar
1 ¼ cups butter softened
2 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
6 ounce can frozen orange juice concentrate divided (remove 2 Tbsp for frosting)
1 tsp baking soda

Orange Juice Buttercream Frosting

3 cups powdered sugar
⅓ cup butter softened
2 Tbsp reserved frozen orange juice concentrate
1 tsp vanilla
1-2 Tbsp milk
Orange sugar to sprinkle on top optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°.
In a large bowl, combine sugar, butter and eggs and beat for 3-4 minutes. Add flour, orange juice concentrate (reserve 2 Tbsp for the frosting) and baking soda and mix for another 1-2 minutes.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone baking sheets.
Bake for 9-12 minutes or until the edges begin to barely turn a light golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Cool completely and then frost.
To make the frosting, combine all of the ingredients except the milk. Beat together and then add milk to bring the frosting to the desired consistency. Frost cookies and sprinkle with colored sugar.
