It is almost time for fall and what better way to celebrate it with COOKIES!!
 
 
Orange Creamsicle Sugar Cookies!
1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla (increase to 1 tbsp of making plain sugar cookies)
juice of 1/2 an orange
zest of 1 whole orange
Orange food coloring (as much or as little as you want)
3 cups flour
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup softened butter
 
Mix all ingredients until combined. Chill for 2-3 hours. Roll out as thick or as thin as you want. Bake 7-8 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool completely before frosting!
 
Frosting:
1 1/2 lbs powdered sugar (approx)
1 tbsp flour (heaping)
2 sticks softened butter
pinch of salt
2 egg whites
2-3 tsp vanilla

Whip together until silky smooth and frost cookies!
 
I will post a picture as soon as I can! These don't last long in the house! Perfect for an after school snack or an activity for the kiddos as well!
