These Root Beer Cookies not only taste fantastic but are also surprisingly easy to make. They feature a delightful root beer flavor that will transport you back to the days of sipping sodas at a summer barbecue. So, let’s dive right into making these delicious cookies!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup root beer extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, root beer extract, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If desired, fold in chopped nuts and chocolate chips at this stage.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear soft; they will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, these Root Beer Cookies are ready to be devoured! Their chewy texture and refreshing flavor make them a standout treat. Enjoy them with a glass of milk or your favorite root beer for an extra special touch. Happy baking!
