Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1/4 cup butterscotch syrup
  • Optional: Harry Potter-inspired sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet; flatten each cookie slightly before baking for about 12-13 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  5. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  6. For frosting, beat softened butter until smooth; gradually add powdered sugar and butterscotch syrup, mixing until fluffy. Pipe or spread frosting on cooled cookies and decorate with sprinkles if desired.
