I shared this recipe over at SuperGlueMom.com today. The cookies are so delicious that I had to share the recipe here. You can read the post on the story behind the recipe here.
You will love them with a scoop of ice cream or used to make ice cream sandwiches. This is my edible version of a root beer float!
Makes 2 1/2 dozen cookies
Ingredients
- 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup butter -2 sticks (softened at room temperature)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten (egg should be at room temperature)

Directions

- Sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.

- With a fork, stir in lightly beaten egg, root beer extract and half-and-half. Blend well with fork, then your hands to ensure thorough blending.

Oooh. These look really yummy. Thanks for the recipe! Bookmarking it now. Or maybe pinning! Or both. :)
These sound really good! Do you know if you can use real root beer soda instead of the extract? I assume you’d have to decrease the liquids…
no, the thing about the extract is that is a concentrated form of flavor (kind of like vanilla extract is a strong vanilla flavor). Unfortunately, there is no substitution for the root beer extract. The good thing is that it’s not expensive or difficult to find.
OMG. My daughter would love these. Is there any way to make these dairy-free ?
I guess egg replacer would work for the egg and EarthBalance non dairy spread for the butter,
but what can I use for the half and half ?
the only way to make these dairy free is with full fat coconut milk. :) enjoy!
