How to Make Belgian White Beer Cookies With Orange Icing

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the Belgian white beer.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the orange zest.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Meanwhile, prepare the orange icing: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange extract until smooth. Add more orange juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
  11. Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the orange icing over them.
