This recipe came from one of Seth's neighbors and came with rave reviews...I made it tonight with the kids, but I had to substitute some ingredients and got some measurements wrong (that's cooking with kids for you) so I don't know what they should really taste like, but they were pretty good. Bet they are really yummy when you get everything right.
Cookies:
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk*
2 tsp. root beer extract
2 1/2 - 2 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs; mix well. Add extract. Add dry ingredients and buttermilk. Mix well. Bake at 400 degrees for 6-8 minutes. When cool, frost with root beer frosting.
*Buttermilk substitute: 1 1/2 tsp vinegar or lemon juice plus milk to make 1/2 cup. Allow to sit 5 minutes before adding to recipe.
Root Beer Frosting
3 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp. root beer extract
1/2 cup butter or margarine
3 Tbsp. hot water
Mix well. The key is to wait until cookies are cool before frosting.
You could also try this recipe with other flavors: cherry, orange, mint, etc.
