Soft, chewy butterbeer cookies topped with fluffy butterscotch frosting and festive sprinkles. A magical treat perfect for Harry Potter fans, parties, or anyone who loves butterscotch desserts.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/3 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 egg, room temperature

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

Frosting:

1/2 cup butter, softened

2 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup butterscotch syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1–2 tablespoons heavy cream

Harry Potter-inspired sprinkles (or any sprinkles)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
  5. Use a large cookie scoop to portion 7–8 dough balls. Roll and flatten each to about 3/4 inch thickness on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 12–13 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Let cookies rest on the sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  7. For the frosting, beat softened butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream. Mix on low for 2 minutes.
  8. Mix in butterscotch syrup and beat on high for 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  9. Transfer frosting to a piping bag fitted with Tip 10 or 12. Pipe swirls onto cooled cookies and decorate with sprinkles.

Notes

Make smaller cookies by dividing dough into 12 portions and reducing bake time by 2–3 minutes.

If butterscotch syrup isn’t available, substitute caramel syrup.

Cookies store best in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature, or a week refrigerated.

Freeze unfrosted cookies for up to 2 months; thaw before frosting.

Keep cookies soft by not overbaking and storing with a slice of bread.
