How To Make tangy orange cookies

Mix thoroughly, add orange juice concentrate and coconut, mix well. Drop by teaspoonful onto cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 12-13 minutes. Frost while warm.

    Frosting...Mix together orange juice, water and powdered sugar and blend well. Drizzle over cookies while still warm.
  • Step 3
    *I think these would be good with slivered almonds added. *I also think they would be good with 1 tsp of almond flavoring then too. *If you'd rather have just a hint of orange, use orange juice instead of the orange juice concentrate.
