Let’s Make it Together

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial because we want those cookies to bake evenly and rise beautifully.

Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, beat together softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 3-4 minutes—your kitchen should smell heavenly by now!

Add Eggs and Vanilla: Crack one large egg into your mixture along with pure vanilla extract. Beat until fully incorporated—this is where the magic begins!

Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Gradually add this dry mix to your wet ingredients while stirring gently until just combined.

Fold in Butterscotch Chips: Gently fold in those glorious butterscotch chips using a spatula. Try not to eat them all before they make it into the dough!

Bake Your Cookies!: Scoop tablespoons of dough onto lined baking sheets spacing them out adequately. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain slightly soft—let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks.

Now you have warm Harry Potter Butterbeer Cookies ready to enjoy! Grab a glass of milk or perhaps a butterbeer-inspired drink if you’re feeling adventurous.

These cookies capture all the warmth and charm of whimsical adventures through Hogsmeade while being easy enough to whip up whenever you’re craving something sweet.
