Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, cream together the shortening, white sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Beat in the buttermilk, orange juice, and orange zest until well combined. (2 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. (2 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. (3 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. (5 minutes)

07

Step
20 mins

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. (20 minutes)

08

Step
3 mins

Prepare the Orange Icing: In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and confectioners' sugar until smooth. (3 minutes)

09

Step
2 mins

Beat in the thawed orange juice concentrate until the icing reaches your desired consistency. Add more orange juice concentrate, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed. (2 minutes)

10

Step
5 mins

While the cookies are still slightly warm, spread generously with the orange icing. (5 minutes)

For a more intense orange flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of orange extract to the batter.
Be careful not to overbake the cookies, as they can become dry. Start checking for doneness at 10 minutes.
The icing can be adjusted to your preference. For a thinner icing, add more orange juice concentrate; for a thicker icing, add more confectioners' sugar.
These cookies are best enjoyed within 2-3 days of baking, stored in an airtight container.
