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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and root beer extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Add the milk and mix until the dough is smooth. Fold in the white chocolate chips.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

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).

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve the cookies with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the full root beer float experience!
