Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons root beer extract or concentrate
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and root beer extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Add the milk and mix until the dough is smooth. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly underbaked (they will continue to cook as they cool).
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the full root beer float experience!
