- In a large bowl, beat sugar and margarine with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add in sugar syrup and continue beating until fluffy. Add egg to sugar mixture and stir in orange juice and zest.
- Sift in flour and baking soda gradually and mix well. Blend in grated carrots, coconut shreds and chopped walnuts. Mix until the dough just combined. Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
- Shape 1 generous teaspoon dough into a 3cm ball and place on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing rounds about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until lightly browned. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Combine all the ingredients for the glaze until smooth and well combined. If it is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If too thick, add more orange/lemon juice.
- Dip the tops of each cookie into the glaze. Let the excess drip off and let the cookies set up for at least 30-60 minutes for the glaze to harden before enjoying.
