3. Step-by-step Instructions for Making Polyjuice Potion Cookies

Prep the Oven and Baking Sheets

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats for even baking and easy cleanup.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Cream Butter and Sugars

Using your stand mixer, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for a smooth dough.

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in vanilla extract.

Add Food Coloring

Divide the dough into two bowls. Tint one with green and the other with purple gel food coloring. Mix well until colors are vibrant.

Combine and Chill Dough

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the colored dough, mixing on low speed.-Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading during baking.

Form Cookies and Add Pretzel Wand Bits

Scoop dough portions and roll into balls. Insert pretzel bits into the center of each to create wand stems. Place them on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake the Cookies

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly on wire racks.

Swirl in Liquid Luck Caramel

While cookies are still warm, drizzle or swirl caramel sauce across the tops to emulate the magical Liquid Luck potion. Let the caramel set before serving.
