For a truly magical bake that any fan will love, these Harry Potter Inspired Butterbeer Cookies are a fabulous choice! Butterscotch pudding/angel delight powder goes into the cookie dough along with white chocolate chunks for a creamy, buttery, toffee kinda flavour.
This is such an easy cookie recipe, and I love how fun it is to pull together. The final product is a crisp outside, soft centre cookie, packed with dreamy butterscotch flavours and chunks of white chocolate. I add edible golden glitter at the end for that really magical touch. Edible glitter can be found in most major supermarkets in the baking aisle!
As is common on my site, this is a mega versatile recipe. You could absolutely sub the white chocolate but I feel this is the best paired with the butterscotch. If you can find butterscotch chips, they’ll be fabulous! Similarly, feel free to change how big they are to make more or fewer. If you do this, however, make sure to adjust the bake time up or down accordingly. This is a great cookie dough to make ahead and keep in the fridge or freezer (wrap air tight) until needed!
I recommend a minimum of 30 minute chill time, but of course you could make ahead and let chill overnight to bake the next day. The brown sugar and vanilla are crucial to deep flavours and the gorgeous texture. No need to press down before baking. Bake as balls, and squish just a little just before baking for that Instagram look.
TOP TIPS FOR THE BEST Harry Potter Inspired Butterbeer Cookies
- Butter: Make sure to use melted butter. This really helps the texture.
- Sugars: The combination of light brown and granulated sugars really contributes to a chewy centre and perfect bake.
- Filling: I use butterscotch Angel Delight. Any butterscotch ‘pudding’ mix will work.
- Chill Time: I know everyone hates this part but it really helps make the best cookies! Go for 30 minutes if you can. If you are making ahead, overnight is great!
I bake these Harry Potter Butterbeer Cookies on classic sheet pans (like these) and always opt for silicone baking mats (these are the ones I use) as they’re better for the planet!

Harry Potter Inspired Butterbeer Cookies
Ingredients
- 125 g Unsalted Butter Melted
- 120 g Light Brown Soft Sugar
- 100 g Granulated Sugar
- 1 Medium Free Range Egg
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 240 g Plain Flour
- 3 tsp Baking Powder
- 50 g Butterscotch Pudding/Angel Delight Powder
- 150 g White Chocolate Chopped
- Edible Glitter Optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, using an electric/stand mixer (or hand whisk, just double/triple the times) combine the butter and both sugars on medium speed for several minutes, until fully combined. Add the egg and vanilla and mix again.
- Add the flour, baking powder, butterscotch angel delight/pudding mixture and chopped chocolate, and fold until combined. The dough should be fairly solid at this stage (it ought to almost form a ball, albeit a very soft one!).
- Cover and chill in the fridge at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line 2-3 large baking trays. Roll into about 12 balls (use a tablespoon to scoop balls of dough). Place on lined baking sheets.
- Bake 10-12 minutes, until golden and just crisping up at the edges (they continue to cook a little once removed). Let cool on a wire rack before adding the glitter if using!
