2. Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon butter extract
• 1 cup white buttercream for frosting
• Optional: Butterscotch chips

Ensuring the ingredients are of good quality will greatly enhance the overall taste of your unusual cookies.

3. Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream them together until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving a soft texture in your butterbeer cookies. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and stir in vanilla and butter extracts.

For a richer flavor, consider using European-style butter, which has a higher fat content. This will contribute to a more tender crumb in your sweet cookies. Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until fully incorporated. If desired, fold in butterscotch chips for extra sweetness! This combination contributes to the unique flavor profile of your Hogsmeade cookies.

Sifting the dry ingredients ensures that there are no clumps, resulting in a smoother cookie dough. Be careful not to overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added, as this can lead to tough cookies. For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cloves.

Step 3: Scoop and Bake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly soft. This will ensure a chewy, satisfying texture in your pub-style cookies.

Using parchment paper prevents the cookies from sticking to the baking sheet and makes cleanup easier. For evenly baked Hogsmeade cookies, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time. Keep a close eye on the cookies, as baking times may vary depending on your oven. If you have extra dough, you could try other butterbeer treats like Harry Potter Individual Butterbeer Cheesecake Cups and it would taste amazing!

Step 4: Frost and Enjoy

Once the cookies have cooled, frost each one with a generous amount of white buttercream. You can pipe the frosting for a decorative effect or simply spread it on with a knife. Serve your delicious butterbeer cookies warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the magic of Hogsmeade in every bite!

For an extra touch, sprinkle the frosted cookies with butterscotch chips or edible glitter. If you prefer a different flavor profile, try using a cream cheese frosting or a butterscotch-flavored buttercream. These cookies with white buttercream are the perfect treat to share with friends and family.

4. Storage Tips

To keep your Hogsmeade cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, consider freezing them without frosting and adding the buttercream when you’re ready to serve!

When freezing the cookies, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. This will prevent them from sticking together. Thaw the cookies completely before frosting. You could also create Hufflepuff’s Sweet Butterbeer Cheesecake Bars if you’d like to try a different version of frozen butterbeer delights.
