INSTRUCTIONS
COOKIES
FROSTING
1. Combine sugar, butter and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with an
electric mixer at medium speed, scraping the sides of the bowl often,
until creamy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Reduce speed to low. Continue beating for 1 to 2 minutes, gradually
adding flour, lemonade (or orange juice) concentrate and baking soda,
and scraping sides of bowl often, until well-blended.
3. Drop batter by rounded teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheets. Bake in a
preheated 400-degree oven until edges of cookies are lightly browned,
about 8 to 14 minutes.
4. Remove cookies from baking sheet. Let cool completely on a wire
rack.
Make the Frosting:
Combine all frosting ingredients except the milk in a small mixing
bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping the sides of the bowl often and
adding milk until desired spreading consistency is reached. Frost
cooled cookies.
