Ingredients

For the Cookies:

2 1/2 cups (312 g) all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup (220 g) light brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar

2 eggs, room temperature

2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp butter flavoring

1 1/4 cups (212 g) butterscotch chips

For the Butterscotch Buttercream:

1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup (60 g) butterscotch sauce (cooled)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups (180 g) powdered sugar

Pinch of salt

For the Butterbeer Caramel Drizzle:

1/2 cup (120 ml) cream soda

1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar

2 tbsp butter

Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and butter flavoring; mix until combined.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in butterscotch chips evenly.
  7. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. For the frosting, beat softened butter until creamy, then mix in cooled butterscotch sauce, vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar until fluffy and smooth.
  10. To make the caramel drizzle, simmer cream soda and brown sugar for 8–10 minutes until thickened. Stir in butter and a pinch of salt, then let cool slightly.
  11. Once cookies are completely cooled, frost each with butterscotch buttercream and drizzle with the warm caramel sauce.

Notes

Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker, chewier cookies.

Use browned butter instead of butter flavoring for a deeper flavor.

Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a cozy twist.

Store cookies with a slice of bread to keep them soft.

Freeze unbaked dough balls or baked cookies for up to 3 months.
