After a spring break trip to Universal Studios® Wizarding World of Harry Potter, I was feeling nostalgic and wanted to try my hand at making a butterbeer-flavored cookie. After a few test batches, this recipe was finally approved by my family of extremely picky Harry Potter fans as being the perfect cookie recreation: lightly butterscotchy, with vanilla and brown sugar accents, just like the Wizarding World drink!

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

¾ cup butter, cubed, at room temperature
¾ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla butter and nut flavoring
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar, or as needed

Steps:

Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a large bowl until creamy using an electric mixer. Add egg, maple syrup, sour cream, vanilla butter and nut flavoring, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat again until combined. Add baking soda and slowly mix in flour, 1/2 cup at a time; dough will be sticky.
Chill dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Pour 2 tablespoons white sugar into a shallow bowl. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls using your hands, roll balls in sugar, and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly using your palm, and leave space between each, as cookies will spread during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on a rack.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 box butter cake mix (15.25 oz)
2 eggs
1/2 c oil
2 Tbsp water
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c butterscotch bits
1/2 c English toffee bits
GLAZE
1 c powdered sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla
2 Tbsp French vanilla coffee creamer

Steps:

1. Mix the first seven ingredients by hand until batter is smooth and shiny.
2. Drop by tablespoon full onto parchment lined cookie sheets and bake for 10 minutes at 350*. They usually will not look done at 10 minutes, but trust the timing. Pull them out and let them sit on a rack to cool and they will firm up and be fine.
3. Once cooled, make the icing drizzle ~ 1 c powdered sugar, 1 tbsp vanilla, 2 tbsp french vanilla coffee creamer. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

Tips:

Use real butter. It makes the cookies richer and more flavorful.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature. Baking the cookies at too high a temperature can make them dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. Frosting warm cookies can cause the frosting to melt and run.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Butterbeer cookies will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Butterbeer cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their sweet and buttery flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
