1/2 cup thawed orange juice concentrate
4 teaspoons grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar. Beat in the orange juice concentrate, zest and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in food coloring. (Dough will be soft.)
