Print Recipe

These soft, buttery cookies capture the warm, sweet flavor of Butterbeer from Harry Potter. Made with simple ingredients like brown sugar and rum extract, they’re ready in under 30 minutes and perfect for movie nights or themed parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1½ teaspoons rum extract
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ cup (85g) butterscotch chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides once.
  3. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and rum extract on low speed until just combined. The mixture may look slightly curdled.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until no flour streaks remain. If using butterscotch chips, fold them in with a spatula.
  6. Use a cookie scoop to portion out 1.5-tablespoon rounds of dough. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake one sheet at a time for 9-11 minutes. The edges should be golden brown, but the centers will look slightly underdone and puffy.
  8. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature butter and egg. Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies. Underbake slightly for soft centers. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months or dough balls for later use.
