Belgian White Beer Cookies With Orange Icing
- 24 ounces Belgian white beer
- 5 tablespoons honey
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- zest of one orange
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- zest of one orange
- Reduce beer and honey in a medium saucepan over medium heat, skimming occasionally, until you have about 1/3 cup of liquid or when it begins aggressively foaming due to the increased sugar content.
- Let this reduction cool to room temperature.
- While it's cooling, cream the butter and sugar together.
- Add the egg and blend thoroughly.
- Then add the vanilla, orange zest, coriander, and beer reduction and blend again.
- Mix the flour and baking soda together then slowly add to the batter.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Scoop mounds of cookies onto an aluminum cookie sheet lined with parchment.
- Make sure you do not overcrowd the cookies; you should be able to fit about 12 cookies on a half sheet pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet until they are cool enough (about 10 minutes) to transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
