Not a huge fan of Root-beer only if it has a little ice cream mixed in with it, so i wasn't sure i would like these cookies. But let me tell you they are to die for and believe me when I say you can't just eat one. Also when I see a recipe with a lot of ingredients it scares me, but these are simple i promise, Don't let the ingredients scare you!
Here is the recipe:
Rootbeer Cookies
2 Cups brown Sugar
1/2 Cup buttermilk {Or Milk with 2 tsp vinegar}
1 Cup Softened marg
2 Eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 T Root beer extract
Mix well then add:
4 Cups Flour (I add more)
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
Place about one tsp of dough on sprayed with PAM cookie sheet
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes
Cool. Makes 3 1/2 dozen cookies
FROSTING
1 Cup powd sugar {I use almost a bag}
2 T milk {I use more}
2 tsp melted butter {I use 1/2 cup softened butter}
2 T Rootbeer extract {I use about 1 T}
2 1/2 cups flour (plus more for kneading)
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups salt
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
3 cups water
3 tablespoons oil
- Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and cream of tartar in a large, heavy bottomed saucepan.
- Add water and oil.
- Stir constantly over medium heat. The mixture will be soupy for several minutes and then suddenly it will stick together and can be stirred into a ball.
- When mixture thickens and forms a rough ball, remove from the heat and continue stirring.
- Turn the hot ball of dough onto a floured surface, and begin kneading as it cools. Add extra flour if mixture is too sticky. Continue kneading until flour is incorporated and dough is no longer sticky.
- Enjoy dough with rollers, cutters, and other tools.
- Store at room temperature in a large zip-lock bag or other air tight container.
