Root Beer Float Cookies

[Rebecca12345]

Hey all you bakers, do you know where I could purchase a 'Mug shaped' cookie cutter? I just came across this cookie recipe & it sounds fun to do....
thanks!



Root Beer Floats
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp root beer flavored oil (used in candy making)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
Icing
1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners sugar
3 Tbsp. butter or margarine, softened
1/4 tsp root beer flavored oil
1 1/2 Tbsp milk
Brown paste food coloring
2 tubes purchased white decorating icing (4.25 oz.)
For cookies, cream butter and confectioners sugar in a large bowl until fluffy. Add egg, vanilla and flavored oil; beat until smooth. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda and cream of tartar. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture; stir until a soft dough forms. Divide dough in half. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill 3 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll out half of dough to 1/8 " thickness. Cut out cookies using a "mug shaped" cookie cutter. Transfer cookies to a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 5-7 minutes until lightly browned. Transfer onto rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough.
For icing: combine the confectioners sugar, butter, flavored oil and milk in a medium bowl, stir until smooth. Tint brown. Spoon brown icing into a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Pipe outline of mug onto cookies Allow icing to harden. Use white decorating icing directly from tube to pipe root beer "foam" onto tops of cookies. Allow icing to harden and serve. Makes 5 doz. cookies.
