Harry Potter Butterbeer Cookies Recipe - Cupcake Diaries (2024)

Butterbeer is a must for any Harry Potter event, and Butterbeer Cookies are the perfect dessert! These cookies have big butterbeer flavor in every bite.

Oh how I love me some Harry Potter! The books, the movies, the costumes…it’s all just so good. One of my all-time-favorite vacations is a trip to Universal Studios and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. There’s nothing quite like walking into Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley for the first time! And because I love Harry Potter so much, I love making food that celebrates Harry and all his friends. Most recently I made Butterbeer Krispy Treats, and I’m continuing the butterbeer trend with these Butterbeer Cookies. They’re so perfectly chewy and so good! Lots of butterbeer flavors in these guys.

What is Butterbeer?

Sometimes I forget that not everybody is obsessed with Harry Potter like I am. If you’re one of those people, allow me to explain what in the world I’m talking about when I refer to butterbeer! Butterbeer is a non-alcoholic beverage the students enjoy when they visit places like the Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade (You can read all about Harry’s first experience in Hogsmeade in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban!).

Butterbeer is a carbonated, butterscotch-like beverage combined with a butterscotch whipping cream. You can make versions of the popular drink found online (I have a recipe for a frozen version that I LOVE!), and you can get what is quite possibly the best recipe of all at Universal Studios in Hollywood and Orlando.

Harry Potter Makes Me Happy

My set of Harry Potter books are sitting on my son’s bookshelf. Sometimes I find myself staring at all of them lined up so nicely and I want nothing more than to read the series over and over again. I know I’m not alone when I say that Harry Potter gets me so excited whenever I think about planning a party, making a recipe, or watching a movie. It’s one of those series that makes you feel so good and you fall in love with the story and the characters. Have you seen the illustrated editions of the Harry Potter books? They’re nothing short of stunning.

What I Love About Harry Potter

I love talking about Harry Potter and that people think go me when they see Harry Potter things online. There are so many things I love about this book series!

1. The close relationship between Harry, Ron, and Hermione
2. Halloween and Christmas both remind me of Harry Potter, which adds even more magic to those wonderful holidays.
3. You can get away with having a Harry Potter party any time of the year.
4. The books and movies are family-friendly so everyone can enjoy them.
5. The storyline is so well thought out. From beginning to end, the story comes together without any plot holes.
6. In the end, happiness means having people around you who love you.

More Harry Potter Recipe Favorites

I haven’t made nearly enough Harry Potter recipes and I’m kind of embarrassed about it. It’s time to turn that around! About eight years ago my twin sister threw a Harry Potter party and we put together some really fun food ideas.Butterbeer Freeze and Butterbeer Krispy Treats are two butterbeer favorites that we make over and over, whether it’s Harry’s birthday or just a Friday night. I made a yummy Gryffindor Popcorn with all the colors of Gryffindor house.
