Ingredients

8 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
8 ounces water
1 pound unsalted butter, cut into pieces
8 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 ½ cups chopped walnuts
1 cup white sugar
1 cup raisins
3 tablespoons grated orange zest
½ tablespoon salt
4 cups powdered sugar, or as needed
½ cup milk, or as needed
1 (1.75 ounce) package multicolored candy sprinkles, or as needed

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Dilute thawed orange juice concentrate with water.
Cut butter into flour until texture resembles coarse crumbs. Add walnuts, white sugar, raisins, orange juice mixture, orange zest, and salt; mix together with your hands. Add more flour as needed until dough is not sticky.
Roll dough on a floured board into a square shape. Cut into diamond shapes or squares. Arrange on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake in batches the preheated oven until edges are golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine powdered sugar and milk in a bowl. Frost cookies and add sprinkles.
