ROOT BEER COOKIES

Root beer is a popular American soft drink, traditionally made from a combination of water, sugar, and extracts of various roots, herbs, and spices. The name root beer comes from the use of sassafras as a flavoring agent.

The root beer float cookies recipe is a delicious dessert that can be made with root beer. It is an easy, one-bowl recipe that uses vanilla extract and chocolate chips to make it taste like a cookie dough.

Is there anything better than root beer? Root beer in the shape of a cookie! Making Cookies with Root Beer is a lot of fun! These cookies have a little root beer taste; if you want a stronger root beer flavor, just add more extract. Despite the lack of root beer taste, these cookies had the most incredible consistency – we couldn’t stop eating them! The buttercream icing on top is really fantastic.

Here’s how to create the best root beer cookies you’ve ever had:

I’ve learned a few key techniques for creating the finest cookies from preparing a number of cookie recipes over the years.

  • Make sure the dough is well floured. You may need to add a little flour if the dough is too sticky.
  • When combining the butter and sugar, take your time. The consistency of your cookies will be improved by creaming them together for 2-3 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. This will ensure that your cookies are perfect every time!
  • Make use of a cookie scoop! A cookie scoop is the way to go if you want all of your cookies to be precisely formed and the same size.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking surface to prevent sticking. This will make removing the cookies from the cookie sheet a breeze, as you won’t have to scrape them off the pan – they’ll simply glide right off in great form!
  • Don’t overbake the cookies – mine appear slightly underbaked when I take them out of the oven, but that’s OK since they’ll continue to bake on the cookie sheet for a few more minutes.

Root Beer Cookies: How to Make Them

Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing basin until light and creamy (2-3minutes).

Mix in the eggs well. Continue to stir in the root beer extract.

Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate basin.

Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl and stir until thoroughly mixed. One spoonful of milk at a time, until the mixture is not crumbly. It’s okay if the dough is a touch sticky. Chill the cookie dough for at least one hour after covering it.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Scoop the dough into balls using a cookie scoop and put them on a cookie sheet that has been prepped. The tops of the cookie dough balls should only be lightly pressed down.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the cookies for 8 minutes. Allow them to cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost the cookies with Root Beer Buttercream icing after they have fully cooled.
