• 1 tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

These ingredients are the heart of your butterbeer creation, each playing a crucial role in texture and that signature butterbeer flavor.

3. Step-by-Step Instructions: Crafting Your Butterbeer Magic

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients – The Foundation of Your Butterbeer Dream

In a medium bowl, combine 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking soda, and ¼ tsp of salt. Whisk these together until well-blended for a solid foundation for your cookies. This ensures an even texture and proper rising during baking. Much like mastering a perfect spell, this precise mixing is key! If you are feeling bold why not add some cinnamon for some extra heat?

Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars – Unlocking the Rich Flavor of this Butterbeer

In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and ½ cup of granulated sugar. This step creates a rich, creamy texture perfect for the cookie dough; continue until the mixture is fluffy and light. Like brewing a potion with precision and care, this creaming process ensures the perfect cream cheesecake consistency.

Step 3: Combine and Shape the Dough – Weaving in Magic and Flavor

Next, add in 2 large eggs and 1 tbsp of vanilla extract to your butter-sugar mixture. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until well incorporated, avoiding overmixing, which can lead to tough cookies. Fold in 1 cup of butterscotch chips for added magical flavor! Then, shape the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. These little orbs of dough now hold the essence of butterbeer and the promise of a delightful dessert! For an extra touch of Gryffindor flair, consider adding a pinch of edible gold glitter.

Keep a close watch to prevent burning; remember, even magical creations need a watchful eye! Once baked, let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Finish off with a drizzle of the Sun-Kissed Butterscotch Drizzle for an extra magical touch! As the cookies cool, they’ll firm up and their flavors will meld, creating a sublime sweet treat.
