I serve these nutritious, tasty cookies to my husband and our four children. Also, because my husband is a minister, I often cook for guests in our home. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups sugar |
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream |
2 eggs |
1 can (6 ounces) orange juice concentrate, thawed, divided |
4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons grated orange peel |
frosting: |
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1 tablespoon butter, softened |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 tablespoon grated orange peel |
1 tablespoon reserved orange juice concentrate |
2 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add sour cream and eggs. Beat until well blended. Reserve 1 tablespoon orange juice concentrate for frosting. Add the remaining concentrate with combined dry ingredients to the creamed mixture; mix well. Stir in orange peel.
2. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for about 10 minutes or until edges just begin to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
3. In a small bowl, combine all frosting ingredients until smooth. Spread a small amount over each cookie. Yield: about 7 dozen.
