📝 Preparation Steps
1
FOR THE COOKIES: In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt, set aside.
cornstarch2 tsp
2
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, whip together 1/2 cup butter, shortening, sugar and orange zest on medium speed until very pale and fluffy, about ⏱️ 4 minutes, occasionally scrapping down the sides of the bowl.
3
Add in egg and mix until combine, then add egg white, orange extract and vanilla extract and mix until combine. With mixer running, slowly add in dry ingredients and mix just until combine.

4
Transfer dough to an airtight container and refrigerate ⏱️ 2 - 3 hours. Preheat oven to 375 during the last ⏱️ 10 minutes of refrigeration.
5
Scoop dough out and shape into balls, about the size of a golf ball (40 g each). Place dough balls on Silpat or parchment paper lined baking sheets and dust tops with flour, then using your hands or the bottom of a large measuring cup flatten balls into rounds, about 1/3-inch thick.
6
Bake in preheated oven ⏱️ 8 - 11 minutes (they should still be soft, don't cook until firm - if poked they should still leave an indentation, you just don't want them doughy).
7
Allow to cool ⏱️ 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Cool completely then frost and garnish with sprinkles if desired. Store in an airtight container.
8
FOR THE FROSTING: In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip cream cheese and butter until pale and fluffy. Mix in orange extract followed by powdered sugar and blend until well combined and fluffy.
