In a bowl combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt and whisk for 30 seconds, set aside. In the bowl of an electrical stand mixer, whip together 1/2 cup butter, shortening, sugar and orange zest on medium speed until very pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes, every now and then scrapping down the sides of the bowl.

Add in egg and blend until combine, then add egg white, orange extract and vanilla extract and blend until combine. With mixer running, slowly add in dry ingredients and blend just until combine. Transfer dough to an airtight container and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours. Preheat oven to 375°F during the last 10 minutes of refrigeration.

Scoop dough out and shape into balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place dough balls on Silpat or parchment paper lined baking sheets and dirt tops with flour, then using your hands or the bottom of a large measuring cup flatten balls into rounds, about 1/3-inch thick.

Bake in preheated oven 8 to 11 minutes (they should still be soft, do not cook until firm – if poked they should still leave an indentation, you just do not want them doughy). Allow to cool 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Cool totally then frost and garnish with sprinkles if desired. Store in an airtight container.

In the bowl of an electrical 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.
