MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
      3 c  Confectioners' sugar
    1/4 c  Butter; melted
  1 1/2 ts Orange juice concentrate;
           - thawed
      1 ts Vanilla extract
      3 tb Whole milk; up to 4 tb
           Food coloring and sprinkles
           - or colored sugar (optional)
 
  In a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening, and sugars until
  light and fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating
  well after each addition. Beat in orange juice concentrate and
  vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to
  creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until dough is
  easy to handle, about 2 hours.
  
  On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4" thickness. Cut
  with a 3" star-shaped cookie cutter dipped in flour. Place 1" apart
  on ungreased baking sheets. Bake @ 350°F/175°C until edges are
  firm, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
  
  For frosting, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, orange
  juice concentrate, vanilla, and enough milk to reach spreading
  consistency. Tint with food coloring if desired. Frost cookies;
  decorate as desired.
