- Drop cookie dough by tablespoons onto ungreased or parchment lined cookie sheet, at least 1 inch apart.
- Bake in 375 f. degree oven for 8-10 minutes, until the surface looks dry. They will not be browned. Cool on a rack until completely cool.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting:.
- Mix the powdered sugar with the butter then add the orange juice a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.
- Frost cookies.
