Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, and orange zest. Melt the butter, add to the mixture, and mix in flour and ground cinnamon. Spread the filling on a baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
  3. Cream together salted butter and margarine with granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy (around 2 minutes).
  4. Add in the egg, light corn syrup, and orange extract to the creamed mixture, blending until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  6. Remove the frozen filling from the freezer, chop it, and gently fold it into the cookie dough.
  7. Portion the dough onto prepared baking sheets with enough space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 9 to 13 minutes until set around the edges and soft in the center.
  9. Prepare the orange glaze by creaming together vegetable shortening and butter. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cookies and allow to cool completely on baking sheets.
