In large mixing bowl beat butter with mixer on med speed until softened (30 sec). Add coco sugar and beat until fluffy.

Add the egg, molasses, OJ and oils. Beat again.

In another bowl stir all the dry together and mix into butter mixture. Cover and chill in the fridge for 2 hrs or until firm enough to roll out

Preheat oven to 375. Divide dough in 1/2. Chill 1 half. On a lightly floured surface roll out other half so it's 1/4 inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Repeat with remaining dough. Bake for 6 to 8 min or until edges are firm. Cool 1 min and lift onto cooling rack

For icing - mix ingredients and place in piping bag to decorate!
