Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon butterbeer flavoring (or caramel essence)
- ½ teaspoon butterscotch extract
- White buttercream icing (for topping)
- Salted caramel sauce (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and light brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg, vanilla, butterbeer flavoring, and butterscotch extract, mixing well. Gradually add the dry ingredients and combine to form dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, shape the dough into 1.5-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each ball. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Prepare the white buttercream icing by beating softened butter with powdered sugar, vanilla, and a splash of milk until fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip.
- Pipe the white buttercream onto cooled cookies. Decorate with edible gold dust or sprinkles for a magical touch.
- Warm the salted caramel sauce slightly, then drizzle generously over the decorated cookies. Let set for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Chill the cookie dough before baking for even spreading.
- Use high-quality extracts and butter for richer flavor.
- Warm the salted caramel for easier drizzling.
- Decorate with edible gold dust or magical sprinkles to enhance theme.
