I remember years ago, my friend had introduced me to Root Beer Cookies and I was immediately hooked! Because really, who doesn’t love root beer and then mix it with a cookie???? Seriously! I find that this cookie is unique and perfect for those cookie exchanges and I know they are always a hit with the kids. I had my nieces and nephews over while I was making this batch and I don’t think they lasted more than 3 hours! For this recipe, I blended my Mom’s chocolate chip cookie recipe and used the root beer extract from Watkins to give it’s delicious flavour! Enjoy!
