Description

Soft and tender. Full of root beer flavor. A GREAT cookie!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter, Softened
  • 2 cups Brown Sugar, Packed (I Used Dark Brown)
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • ¾ teaspoons To 1 Teaspoon Root Beer Concentrate Or Extract
  • 4 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1-½ cup Chopped Pecans (optional)
  • FOR FROSTING (I DOUBLED THIS):
  • 3-½ cups Powdered Sugar
  • ¾ cups Butter, Softened
  • 2 Tablespoons Water
  • 1-½ teaspoon Root Beer Concentrate Or Extract

Preparation

(If my tiny country grocery store had root beer concentrate/extract, I bet yours does too! check the spice aisle, right beside the other extracts.)

1. Cream butter and brown sugar together until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in buttermilk and root beer concentrate. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture, then stir in nuts.
2. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 3″ apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine frosting ingredients together. Beat until smooth.
5. Frost cooled cookies.
6. Enjoy!

Makes about 6 dozen cookies.

Very cake-y texture, the pecans really make them. The root beer flavor really grows on you. Yummy but not very sweet – but I like that. I didn’t make the icing – but I just don’t like icing – however I am under strict orders to make the icing next time.

These were so yummy! The only reason I give it 4 stars is because I didn’t think the cookies had good root beer flavor. The icing is what made the cookie! They are delicious!
