Soft Orange Cookies

I was in the mode for something tangy a couple weeks ago,so I made soft orange cookies.

Ingredients:

For cookies

2 medium oranges

1/2 cup butter

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup milk

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt 

 For optional icing:

1 tablespoon butter

1-2 cups powder sugar

1/4 cup orange juice

Step 1:  Preheat oven to 350 and line baking sheets with slap mat or parchment paper. If you have either DO NOT oil pan. In a bowl beat together butter,sugar, and milk. Set aside.

Step 2:  Zest the 2 oranges and juice oranges. Add the juice, a couple pieces of orange peel and zest In a blender. Try to get as much of the white part of the orange of first before adding the peel. Blend to a liquid state. 

Step 3: Add the orange liquid to your butter sugar mix and beat well.

Step 4: Stiff together your dry ingredients; flour,baking powder,baking soda, and salt. 

Step 5: Add dry ingredients to your wet ingredients. Beat in till combined. 

Step 6: Spoon about a teaspoon full of the mix on to your pan. Bake till it turns golden brown around the edges. 

Step 7: While cookies are baking; in a bowl beat together orange juice and butter. Slowly add in your powder sugar.

Step 8: When your cookies have cooled icing if desired. Enjoy!

Side note: First time making these I only used 1 large orange and it was not quite tangy.So stick with 2 medium oranges.Also I saved some of the orange mix that was blended and used that in my icing instead of orange juice.
