Ingredients

For cookies:

5 tsp. Coriander Seeds (or Ground Coriander Seeds)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 tsp. Mayan Sea Salt

1/4 tsp. baking soda 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup buttermilk

1 tsp. Pure Orange Extract

For optional glaze: 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar 2 Tbsp. buttermilk 2 tsp. orange zest

1/2 tsp. Pure Orange Extract

Directions

Step 1 For cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toast coriander seeds in a small skillet over medium heat for about 3 min. or until fragrant. Transfer to a spice grinder and grind until fine. (Alternately, use pre-ground coriander.)

Step 2 In an electric mixer, cream together butter, salt, baking soda, and ground coriander. With mixer running, gradually add sugar then egg. Add flour alternately with the buttermilk and extract, blending well.

Step 3 Drop dough by the teaspoon on lightly greased or parchment-lined cookie sheets. Keep dough rounded and spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 15 min. or until just lightly browned around the edges and just barely firm on top.

Step 4 For optional glaze: Whisk all ingredients together and drizzle over cookies when they come out of the oven.
