Root beer extract makes these cookies spicy. The white chocolate provides a mellow contrast. Like all Tollhouse-type cookies, these are easy to make and a crowd pleaser.

The amount of root beer extract used will determine whether you make a cookie that taste like spices or a cookie that tastes like root beer. Use 1 teaspoon of root beer extract for a spice cookie and 2 teaspoons for a true root beer taste.

Ingredients

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon Cook's Pure Choice Vanilla Extract
1 to 2 teaspoons Cook's Root Beer Extract (see headnote)
2 large eggs
12 ounces white chocolate chunks or chips (about 2 1/4 cups)

Directions

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.

Add the butter, sugar, molasses and Cook's Pure Choice Vanilla Extract to the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer. Add 1 teaspoon of the Cook's Root Beer Extract for a spicy cookie or 2 teaspoons for a strong Cook's Root Beer Extract. Beat on medium-low speed until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition. With the mixer speed on low, slowly add the flour mixture, beating only until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Add the white chocolate chips or chunks; mix on low just until evenly distributed.

Form rounded tablespoons of dough and place on the baking sheets, spacing them at least 1 inch apart. Bake 1 sheet at a time for 11 to 13 minutes, until the cookie edges just start to brown and the middles of the cookies are soft (but not wet).

Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to the wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
