Drop 1 tbsp dough per cookie 3 inches apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown and set.
Meanwhile, combine butter, 3 tbsp orange juice, and 1 tbsp orange peel in large bowl. Whisk in powdered sugar until icing is of a spreadable consistency, adding additional juice if needed. Spread each cookie with generous 1 tsp frosting. Cool cookies completely on wire rack before icing.

<p>In general, cooking is a passion and a hobby. I love to try new recipes and I love it even more when a new recipe comes out spectacular.  I work full time, and am a wife and mother, so sometimes cooking becomes a chore.  I try to keep it fresh by planning out the week in meals, trying a new recipe a week, and cooking enough to freeze dinners for those evenings with a tight schedule.</p>
