Root beer float sandwich cookies are one of the best dessert creations I’ve ever come across.
Take a look at what my friend Erin from the Making Memories With Your Kids food blog had to say about this magnificent recipe:
We love root beer! Root beer everything! We’ve made Root Beer Float Popsicles, Root Beer Ice Cream, Root Beer Float Fudge, Root Beer Homemade Zotz Fizzy Candy and another version of Root Beer Float Cookies. (All amazing!) So when I saw these Root Beer Float Sandwich Cookies on Pinterest, what did I do??? Pinned it! This recipe is wonderful. The cookies are soft and chewy and the root beer flavor is amazing! Alone they are perfect!
I pinned this recipe for root beer float sandwich cookies, too! Totally pin-worthy.

1 cup Kerrygold butter, softened
2 cups Domino light brown sugar

For the Cream Filling
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Using a mixer, cream together butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time and then the root beer extract, making sure to scrape down sides of the bowl.
Combine flour, salt and baking soda. Slowly add flour mixture to your batter until all combined.
Drop by spoonfuls onto a parchment lined baking sheet. (A 1 inch cookie scoop works perfectly.)
Bake for 8 minutes. Let cool on tray 5 minutes before removing to rack to cool completely.
Prepare filling.
Cream together butter and shortening until smooth. Add in vanilla extract. Slowly add in powdered sugar then add in cream until desired spreading consistency.
