Dr. Pepper Cookies

So this is a recipe that my mom and I came up with. I love Dr. Pepper, its my favorite  drink- not the healthiest but oh so good! My mom was telling my about the soda cakes that her family used to make- you know the ones- cake mix with either sprite or coke or any other soft drink.
I got to thinking.. its not hard to change the amounts of ingredients and make it from a cake to a cookie.
The cookie is moist and fluffy like a cake but bakes in a short amount of time.

Here's the ingredients: 
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter- melted
5 cups of All purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder 
1 tsp. salt 
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 cup Dr. Pepper 


Glaze: 
equal parts Dr. Pepper and Powder sugar

1. Pre-heat oven 375 degrees. medium bowl- combine sugar and butter until creamy 
2. medium bowl- combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt. Add to butter mixture.
3.  Add eggs and vanilla to mixture combine until all incorporated. 
4. Add Dr. pepper- texture should be a little sticky and more on the cookie dough side. ( add more flour if needed)
5. Baking sheet with parchment paper- spoon the dough onto it- leaving a couple of inches in between each cookie. 
6. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. 

While the cookies are baking make glaze. Whisk together powder sugar and Dr. Pepper until you reach desired glaze consistency. drizzle over cookies once they come out of the oven. 

* If you don't like Dr. Pepper you can use other Coke's- regular and diet. 

-Enjoy
