These were wonderful, everyone raved about them. I did halve the recipe and did the milk/lemon juice trick instead of the the buttermilk. I also did Powdered Sugar Glaze instead of the frosting. These have become a favorite among my family, I'll definitely return to these again and again.

Everyone enjoyed these. Majority preferred with frosting. One person preferred without frosting; said it was too strong of root beer flavor.

What a fun cookie! I halved the recipe and still ended up with alot! I served these at my ladies Bible study group and they were devoured in no time! Everyone loved the fact that they were so different for the ordinary. The cookies held their "drop" shape while they baked, so if you are planning to ice them I would recommend rolling them into balls and flattening slightly. However these cookies are super even without the added icing! Thanks for sharing this fun treat!

These cookies are very good. Soft and chewy the way a good cookie should be. The only thing I would say is to make a double batch of the frosting. One batch did not quite cover all and with double you can put on a little extra. Very yummy.
