Learn how to make delicious Harry Potter Butterbeer Cookies. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup butterscotch pudding mix (instant)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Growing up, my grandmother always insisted on having everything ready before we began, and it’s a habit I’ve kept.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, butterscotch pudding mix, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. I find this step therapeutic, reminiscent of the times I spent with my abuela in the kitchen.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.
  5. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as my grandmother would often remind me, “Un toque de amor y paciencia, Sofia.”
  6. Stir in the butterscotch and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The smell will transport you straight to Hogsmeade!
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips for Making the Best Harry Potter Butterbeer Cookies

For that perfect cookie texture, make sure your butter is at room temperature before you start. This little detail can make a big difference, a lesson I learned after many trials and errors in my own kitchen. If you want to add an extra magical touch, sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top of the cookies right before baking. It enhances the butterscotch flavor, giving the cookies a complex yet delightful taste.
