Rhonda is a dear friend that is an excellent baker. This recipe and icing technique was provided by her.
Cookies
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup soft butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
Combine all ingredients with an electric mixer set on low (1 - 2 minutes).
Divide dough into two pieces. Wrap sections separately in wax paper and refrigerate 2 - 3 hours before rolling out and cutting with desired cookie cutter.
Bake on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper at 350 - 400 degrees for 6 to 10 minutes.
Allow cookies to cool completely before icing.
Icing
1 cup sifted confectioner's sugar
2 teaspoons milk
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
Combine all of the above ingredients. If icing needs to be thinned. Sparingly add more corn syrup. Food coloring may be gradually added to obtain a desired color.
A successful icing technique is to place icing in a small bottle. Use the bottle to outline the cookie completely making a dam-like structure. Once the outline is complete you can flood the center with icing.
