Servings   72

Ingredients
1-1/2 cups butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup thawed orange juice concentrate
1 teaspoon Spice Island® Pure Vanilla Extract
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
 
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons water
4-1/2 teaspoons meringue powder
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Red and black paste food coloring

Instructions
In a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one 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 for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a 4-in. star-shaped cookie cutter dipped in flour. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 7-8 minutes or until edges are firm. Remove to wire racks to cool.
In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, water, meringue powder and cream of tartar; beat on low speed just until combined. Beat on high for 4-5 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Tint 9 tablespoons red and 2 tablespoons black. Leave remaining icing white. Keep unused icing covered at all times with a damp cloth. If necessary, beat again on high speed to restore texture.
Place red icing in a pastry bag. With a 3 round pastry tip, pipe Santa's hats, noses and suits. Use black icing for eyes, mittens, belts and boots. With white frosting and a 16 star tip, add the hat trim, mustaches and beards. With a round tip, add the suit trim. Yield- about 6 dozen.
