1 cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup liquid luck caramel (see recipe below)

3. Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting Your Wizarding Treats

Prepare the Liquid Luck Caramel

In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, light brown sugar, and unsalted butter. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for about 8-10 minutes until thickened and golden. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and a pinch of sea salt, and let cool slightly. This caramel will swirl beautifully into your cookies, creating the magical liquid effect.

Make the Cookie Dough

Using your stand mixer, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt until combined. Reserve a small portion of dough for creating a swirl pattern.

Assemble the Cookies with Liquid Luck Swirl

Divide the dough into portions. Flatten each ball slightly, then create a well in the center and fill with a spoonful of the cooled liquid luck caramel. Fold the dough around the caramel to seal, shaping into a ball. Lightly swirl the caramel inside by gently twisting the dough.

Bake the Wizard-Themed Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool slightly on a wire rack.

Add the Pretzel Wand Bits

While the cookies are still warm, press pretzel wand bits into the tops for a crunchy, wizardly effect. These bits resemble magical wands, perfect for finishing your wizard-themed treats.

4. Storage and Preservation Tips

Store the Polyjuice Potion Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for optimal freshness. For longer storage, place them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat briefly in a warm oven or air fryer to restore their crispiness and gooey caramel swirl.

5. Serving Suggestions for Wizard-Themed Treats

Plate your Polyjuice Potion Cookies alongside a steaming mug of your favorite coffee or wizard-inspired potion. Add a sprinkle of edible glitter or magical-themed sprinkles for extra enchantment. These cookies are perfect for party platters or magical movie marathons celebrating the wizarding world.
