This is one of our favorite recipe's for large gatherings! I have found in my experience, that the dehydrated buttermilk does not work well for this recipe, you need the real stuff! Also, using real butter instead of margarine in the frosting really does make it better. I've used margarine in the cookie batter, and I can't tell a big difference.
Root beer Cookies
2 sticks (1 cup) butter (soft - not melted)
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1 tbsp. root beer extract
2 eggs
1 ts. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
4 cups flour
Cream butter, sugar, and buttermilk. Add root beer extract and eggs, cream again. Add salt and soda, and mix again. Add flour 1 cup at a time mixing well each time, scraping the sides of the bowl often.
Spoon onto cookie sheet (do not grease or spray!) and bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes. Cool completely before frosting (about 30 minutes).
Frosting
1 stick of butter
3 cups powder sugar
3 Tbsp. milk
