Whoa mama… These cookies taste exactly like root beer floats in cookie form. Thanks to McCormick and their root beer concentrate for making this cookie possible!
Did you know that root beer extract was one of Willoughby M. McCormick’s first products that he sold door to door way back in 1889? Yup, that’s right.. you read that correctly. There are no typos there. McCormick is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year!
In order to celebrate their anniversary, they started a program called Flavor of Together. It’s a yearlong initiative to share 1.25 million stories about how flavor both unites and defines people across the globe.
For every story shared on any of McCormick’s brand websites or social channels, McCormick will donate $1, up to $1.25 million, to United Way to help feed those in need. All you have to do is join the conversation on flavoroftogether.com where you can share your flavor story. 1.25 million stories equals $1.25 dollars! You can also share your stories on social media using the hashtag #flavorstory. It’s that easy.
If you’ve never tried McCormick’s root beer concentrate before, you should know that the consistency is a bit thicker than say, vanilla extract. The moment you pop open that seal, the aroma of root beer floats lingers into the air and you are instantly taken back to popping open a glass bottle of root beer to pour over your cup filled with scoops of vanilla ice cream. It’s amazing how spot on it is.
These cookies are tame at first and it will get your guests wondering what that familiar taste is, but the after bite is where you’ll taste it. There will be no doubt in your mind that the cookie you just ate is a root beer float. The creaminess of the white chocolate chips are reminiscent of vanilla ice cream.

my flavor story centers around vanilla! I am a postdoctoral student in microbiology and my job is stressful to say the least! There is nothing that makes me happier than baking up some cupcakes or muffins in my spare time. It also makes me very popular with my coworkers! #flavorstory

We always try to make meals unique to entice our kids to eat what we make. A recent one we did was made turn-overs with strawberry filling. The unique addition we made was adding 2tbsp of strawberry milk powder to the dough to give it a sweet strawberry taste as well as a bright pink color. #flavorstory

Stylish, trendy and priced just right what more could you want in an athletic shoe? Plenty. Before you let the salesperson swipe your credit card, consider this: Medical experts point to inappropriate footwear as the “sole” cause of most foot discomfort. Wearing tennis shoes for your morning run? Well, there’s a good reason they’re called “tennis” shoes.. Fragrance does not define you as a man or woman.

Yet, Marvel has made Thor part of their ‘Avengers’ initiative, indicating that the character would show up in the mega movie. Some fans wondered how that would work if the Thuder God’s movie would eschew Midgard for Asgard. Donald Blake showing up near the end of the movie.
