List of Ingredients




1 Cup brown sugar
1/2 Cup butter
1 egg
1/4 Cup buttermilk OR 1/8 Cup water
1 tsp. root beer extract
2 3/4 Cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Beat sugar and butter until fluffy. Add the egg. Beat well. Mix in

sheet. Bake at 350 degrees 8-10 minutes or until lightly brown.
Note: if dough is very sticky after mixing add a little flour until
the right consistency.


Root Beer Frosting

1/4 Cup shortening
1/4 Cup butter
2 Cups powdered sugar
1/2 to 1 tsp. root beer extract (depending on
personal taste)

Cream shortening and butter in a bowl with electric mixer. Add root
beer extract. Gradually add sugar beating well on medium speed.
Scrap sides and bottom of bowl often. When all the sugar has been
