I love finding new and interesting products on Amazon. One night I was looking through the different extracts that are out there and I came across ROOT BEER!
Immediately my dad popped into my head, he loves root beer floats. I knew I had to order it so I could create a Root beer float cookie for him!
These cookies are soft, sweet and creamy with a buttery glaze drizzled over the top giving you that familiar root beer flavor! These cookies go great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cold glass of milk!
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon root beer extract (found it on Amazon)
- 1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
The glaze:
- 2 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 5 tablespoons of melted butter
- 1 ½ teaspoon root beer extract
- 2 tablespoons hot water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, egg, milk and root beer extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients bowl, whisking to combine. I add a cup at a time.
Drop the dough by teaspoons 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. You can use a small cookie scoop or spoon.
Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes.
Cool completely before adding the glaze.
For the glaze
Mix together all of the glaze ingredients in a small bowl.
Stir until well combined.
Using a fork, drizzle the glaze over the top of the cooled cookies.
*if glaze is too thick, add another tablespoon of hot water, until you get the consistency you desire.
