Howdy!
I love to bake and often experiment with ideas to come up with new cookie recipes. Or try out unusual ingredients.
Root beer is a well-liked flavor at our house, so when I saw a recipe for Root Beer Cookies, I knew I had to give them a whirl!
Root Beer Cookies
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup butter
1 egg
¼ cup buttermilk
2 teaspoon root beer extract (or concentrate)
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 375?.
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar. Add egg, beating well. Beat in buttermilk and root beer extract.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to creamed mixture.
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. (I like to line mine with parchment.)
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove to wire racks to cool.
Root Beer Frosting
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter (softened)
1 tablespoon root beer extract
Mix powdered sugar with softened butter, and root beer concentrate.
Frost cookies.
Store in airtight container up to five days.
Yield: approx. 24 cookies
NOTE: You can cut back the root beer extract to 1 teaspoon. We like ours with extra “pop!”
Have you ever baked with soda pop?
