Root beer Float Cookies

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup butter

½ cup buttermilk

2 eggs

2 tsp. root beer extract

1 tsp. vanilla

4 cups flours

1 tsp. baking soda

¼ tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 375.  Mix all ingredients in order.  Drop dough by heaping teaspoons 2 inches apart.  Bake 10-12 minutes.  Cool completely.  Spread frosting on cookies.  Let dry.

Frosting:

1 cup powdered sugar

1 TBSP half + half (but you can use regular milk)

2 tsp. butter

1 tsp. root beer extract

Mix together.  You just put a little on each cookie and then let it harden up.  Once the frosting is hardened, you should be able to stack them without them mushing together.
