(Right now as I write this, my little baking helper is demanding my hands.
She'd draped across my chest pushing my hands off my phone. Well, at least she stopped licking my face & I can see again!)
There are a few basic sugar cookie recipes I've been using lately & just adding different flavours to them with great results (Spiced Apple Cider being one of them http://the-metamorphosis-of-me.blogspot.ca/2014/11/spiced-apple-cider-cutout-cookies.html?m=1). This root beer recipe is no exception.
I took this basic sugar cookie recipe: http://www.inkatrinaskitchen.com/2011/12/best-sugar-cookie-recipe-and-kitchenaid_28.html and instead of using the flavourings they suggested, I added the same amount of root beer flavouring: 1.5 tsp. I baked my 1/4" cookies at 350F for 12-15 minutes and Voilá, root beer cookies.
Last night, while finishing up the cupcakes, I looked at all the extra glaze, looked at my cookies, grabbed a large square paintbrush (I get mine at the dollar store & never use them for anything but icing), and painted on a layer of yummy glaze. Because they were going to the church today, I grabbed a clean coffee filter and dumped in my sprinkles and then put half the cookie into the sprinkles. I wanted them to be a bit Christmasy. :)
I left them out overnight & the glaze hardened enough for me to transport them this morning. :)
If you try this version of a basic sugar cookie, please let me know how you enjoyed it. If you experiment with other flavourings, I'd love to hear how they turn out: both good & bad.
