Butterbeer Sugar Cookies image

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 unsalted butter. This will help you control the amount of salt in the cookies.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies lighter and more tender.
Add the eggs one at a time. This will help to prevent the dough from curdling.
Gradually add the dry ingredients. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming too tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes. This will help to ensure that the cookies are cooked through without overbaking.
Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help to prevent them from breaking.

Conclusion:

These butterbeer cookies are a delicious and magical treat that are perfect for any Harry Potter fan. 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. So grab your ingredients and get baking!
