What Equipment Will You Need To Make Butterbeer Cookies?

• Large Bowl- See, here’s the thing you need to mix the dry and the wet ingredients separately. You’ll be needing a large bowl to mix the dry ingredients. 
• Stand Mixer- The dry ingredients go into the stand mixer. Why? Because they need too much mixing and I have had enough swishing and flicking for today. 
• Plastic Wrap- Take the Quaffer-sized dough ball and wrap it up nicely. Don’t put it through the hoops. We aren’t playing Quiddich, and we are making cookies!
• Medium Cookie Scoop- Medium-sized cookie scoop because we need medium-sized cookies. Simple.
• Non-Stick Baking Tray- It would be absurd now if I ask you to use a sticky baking tray. We don’t want the cookies to stick to the tray and get ruined. Hence, the non-stick baking tray. 
• Oven- Some baking will be done in the oven. 
• Whisk and Spatula- Remember when I said that you need to whisk the dry ingredients. The whisk will help you achieve that. The spatula? It is for scraping the stubborn splutters in the mixer. 

How Much Time Will You Need To Make Butterbeer Cookies?

What Ingredients Will You Need To Make Butterbeer Cookies?

• All-Purpose Flour- The flour makes the dough chewy and gives it the signature cookie-ness. 
• Instant Pudding Mix- Add instant dry vanilla and butterscotch pudding mix into the mix. If you want it to be all butterscotch, you can do that as well. That’s an approved rendition of the cookie by the cookie Gods. 
• Toffee Bits- Add toffee bits to instigate sudden bouts of crunch when biting the cookie. You can also make the crunch high intensity by adding some butterscotch chips making sure you don’t increase the quantity of this addition. 
• Sugar and Salt- Opposites attract to this recipe and help sweeten and balance it at the same time.
• Baking Soda- A pinch of baking soda, so you get a risen and perfectly baked cookie. 
• Butter- Butter because ‘duh’. These ‘Butter’-beer cookies (don’t come at me because there’s no beer. I am trying my mediocre best here).
• Eggs and Egg Yolk- Break two and a half eggs and drop them in the mix. I don’t know what to do with the third egg white, though. Maybe if I don’t pay attention to it, it’ll go away. 
• Vanilla Extract- Lastly comes the ingredient blessed by the aroma Gods, my precious Vanilla extract (*choir plays in the background*).

Steps To Make Butterbeer Cookies

1. The Cookie, Dough

To make butterbeer cookies, start with making the dough (for obvious reasons). Take a large bowl and mix the flour, baking soda, and salt with the help of a whisk. That’ll be your dry mix.

Now, for the wet mix, take a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Then, add butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Pulse them until they form a creamy mixture. 

After that, add the dry pudding mix into the mixer along with the eggs and the additional egg yolk. Also, drop in some butter and vanilla extract and give everything a good mix.

2. Shape Shifter

When all of that is combined well, add in the flour mixture to it along with some toffee bits and mix until a dough begins to take shape.

After that, shape the cookie dough into a round bowl and wrap it with plastic foil. Refrigerate the dough for about 2 hours. You can skip chilling the dough if you want chewy cookies. Just saying. 

3. What’s The Scoop?

Then, take it out and let it soften. Use a cookie scoop to take out small scoops from the dough.

Shape them into round balls using your hands and place them on a non-stick baking tray. Place the baking tray in the oven and bake the cookies at 350℉ for about 10-15 minutes. This is the time range for chewy to crispy cookies. 

Then, take them out and allow them to cool down completely. Your delicious butterbeer cookies are ready (*excited in muggle*)!
