Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven: Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 375°F, ensuring the perfect environment for your cookies to achieve that golden perfection.

2. Cream together the goodness: In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, shortening, sugar, and brown sugar. Allow them to mingle until the mixture achieves a creamy and luscious texture.

3. Egg-cellent addition: Introduce the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This step ensures a smooth and homogenous blend, elevating the cookie’s overall texture.

4. Blend with precision: Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the citrusy kick of orange extract. Mix these ingredients with precision, creating a batter that promises a symphony of flavors.

5. Fruitful inclusion: Stir in the star of the show – Fruit Loops! Let these colorful loops weave their magic into the batter, creating a whimsical and visually appealing cookie dough.

6. Drop and bake: Using a level tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto a baking sheet or a trusty baking stone. Allow them to bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they achieve that perfect light golden brown hue.

7. Cooling perfection: Once out of the oven, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. This brief interlude allows the flavors to settle, ensuring a delectable final product. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Orange Icing Extravaganza: For the orange icing, combine confectioners’ sugar and orange juice in a small bowl. Mix with enthusiasm until you achieve a smooth and irresistible concoction.

9. Icing and Garnish: Give your cookies the royal treatment by generously icing them with the orange delight. For that extra touch of whimsy, garnish with additional Fruit Loops, adding a playful crunch and a burst of fruity flavor.
