2. Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butterscotch chips
• ½ cup dark chocolate chunks

3. Directions

Step 1: Prepare Your Dough

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. This will be the base of your magical Slytherin Butterbeer Cookies. Ensure that the butter is properly softened to achieve a smooth and creamy texture, which is vital for the perfect cookie consistency. Creaming the butter and sugar well incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in soft and chewy cookies. This step is crucial when creating any kind of cookie recipe, take your time to make sure the base of the dough it’s nice and fluffy!

Step 2: Add the Butterscotch

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Once combined, fold in the butterscotch chips and dark chocolate chunks. This step adds the heart and soul to the butterbeer cookies! Be careful not to overmix the dough once you add the dry ingredients; overmixing can lead to tough cookies. Gently fold in the butterscotch chips and dark chocolate chunks to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 3: Shape the Dough

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop or your hands to shape the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for them to spread while baking. Using parchment paper ensures that the cookies do not stick to the baking sheet and makes for easy cleanup. If you prefer uniform cookies, a cookie scoop is your best friend. For a rustic look, simply roll the dough into balls using your hands.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Your Slytherin Cookies are now ready to enchant your taste buds! Keep a close eye on the cookies while they are baking to prevent them from burning. The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so check them after 10 minutes. Cooling the cookies on the baking sheet allows them to firm up slightly before transferring them to a wire rack, preventing them from breaking.

Can I substitute dark chocolate for milk chocolate?

Absolutely! If you prefer a sweeter taste, feel free to replace dark chocolate chunks with milk chocolate. This will create a different flavor profile while still maintaining the essence of butterbeer cookies. Keep in mind that milk chocolate will add a sweeter and milder flavor compared to the more intense and slightly bitter taste of dark chocolate. Adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe accordingly to balance the sweetness. What if we want to celebrate all the houses?
