- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips

- Optional: edible gold dust or sprinkles for extra magic
3. Step-by-step Instructions for Perfect Gryffindor Butterbeer Cookies
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream the Butter and Sugar
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until creamy and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving soft, melt-in-your-mouth cookies.
Add the Egg and Vanilla
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Incorporate the butterscotch flavoring or chips for an extra touch of sweetness.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure tender cookies.
Shape and Bake
Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into 1.5-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
Prepare the Butterscotch Glaze
In a small saucepan, melt the butterscotch chips with heavy cream over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
Glaze the Cookies
Once cookies are cooled, dip the tops into the warm butterscotch glaze and place on a wire rack. Allow the glaze to set completely. Decorate with edible gold dust or sprinkles for added magic.
4. Storage Tips for Long-lasting Magic
Store the Gryffindor Butterbeer Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For maximum freshness, keep the glaze separate until serving and reapply if needed.
5. Serving Suggestions and Presentation
Serve these magical butterbeer cookies on a themed platter for your Harry Potter party. Pair with a glass of butterbeer or a warm cup of tea. For an extra magical touch, display them alongside your Harry Potter collectibles or in a whimsical Harry Potter-themed gift basket.
