In the bowl of a food processor, whirl the flour, baking powder, salt and shortening until the mixture looks like almond meal.

Add the milk and eggs and pulse until the dough comes together; wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place in the fridge while you get the filling ready.

In the same food processor bowl, add the mincemeat, the figs, the walnuts, the marmalade, and the zest; puree until it becomes thinner but not completely paste-like..

Take the dough out and cut into 4 pieces.

Roll out the dough and either cut circles, spoon a tablespoon of filling in the middle of the circle, top with another circle and press to seal; place on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes.

If you would like to make the other shape, roll out the dough to form a rectangle, place a strip of filling along the edge, roll the dough over the filling cut a strip and then cut the filled dough log into 2" pieces. Cut 3 slits in the edge and separate a bit. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes.

Continue until all the dough is used (you can re-roll dough).

While the cookies are baking, make the glaze by mixing the icing sugar with the orange juice (add more milk if you need it thinner); dip each cookie in (or drizzle onto the cookies using a fork).
