Root Beer Cookies

For the cookies:
Preheat oven to 400 F.

In a large bowl whip 1 cup softened butter with sugar. Add buttermilk, eggs and root beer concentrate and mix well. Add dry ingredients and mix just until incorporated.

Drop dough by large spoonfuls onto a baking sheet and bake at 400 F for 9-11 minutes. Then remove them from the oven and allow to cool before frosting.

For frosting:
In a large bowl mix 1/2 cup softened butter with root beer concentrate, water and powdered sugar. Spread on cooled cookies.
Store in an airtight container between layers of wax paper.
