Soft and pillowy orange cookies are topped with a delicious and buttery orange frosting.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream butter and sugar. Then add eggs, orange juice, and orange rind, and beat until well-combined.
In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking powder). Add dry ingredients to butter mixture (about 1 cup at a time), alternating with milk. Be sure to start and end with the dry ingredients.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop cookies onto sheet with a standard cookie scooper. (Dough will seem a bit thin and is more like the consistency of thick cake batter.) Bake for 13-15 minutes, until center looks cooked through (the edges may not be brown). Cookies will continue cooking on pan slightly once removed from oven. Let cookies cool completely on baking sheets.
Beat together all icing ingredients until well combined and light in color. Add to cookies once they've cooled.
