Root Beer Float Cookies
- 16 ounces, fluid Favorite Root Beer
- 12 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Divided
- 1-3/4 cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 whole Eggs
- 3 cups Flour
- 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar (For Icing)
- 1) In a saucepan, pour in 16 ounces of your favorite root beer. (I use Sprecher's). Bring to a boil on medium-high heat, and reduce to about 1/2 cup. This can take 15-20 minutes.
- 2) Melt 10 Tablespoons of butter in medium saucepan - cook 3-5 minutes on medium until golden brown. Keep swirling so it doesn't burn. Remove from heat, stir in additional 2 Tablespoons of butter.
- 3) Stir in brown sugar, salt, and 4 Tablespoons of your root beer concentrate. Let cool, then beat in 2 eggs.
- 4) In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
- 5) Add sugar mixture to flour mixture, and mix until just combined.
- 6) The dough should be soft, but not runny (if it's runny, add a bit more flour). Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- 7) When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll dough into balls (the size of smallish golfballs), and place on sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cookies are much better under than over-baked.
