½ cup water                                         
2 tsp root beer extract
3½ cups flour
1 tsp baking soda

Mix brown sugar, margarine and eggs in bowl until fluffy.  Stir in water, extract, flour, soda and salt and mix until smooth.  Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.  Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 400º for about 6-8 minutes.  Bake until almost no impression remains when a cookie is touched lightly.  Immediately lift the cookies to a rack to cool.

1½ tsp root beer extract
⅓ cup margarine, softened                               
2 tbsp hot water
 
Mix sugar and margarine in bowl and stir in extract and water.  Stir until smooth.  Spoon glaze over the cookies while on rack.  Wax paper should be under the racks to catch drippings
