Frosted Root Beer Cookies

These are a simple and unique cookie that we absolutely loved.  The cookies are soft brown sugar cookies with a hint of root beer flavor.  The root beer frosting complements the cookies wonderfully and makes this a fun cookie for a summer BBQ.

Makes 3-5 dozen cookies, depending on size.

Cookies:
1 C butter, softened
2 C brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 C buttermilk
1 tsp root beer extract or concentrate
4 C flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

4 C powdered sugar
3/4 C butter, softened
3 TBSP milk
1 tsp root beer extract or concentrate
