3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect ButterBeer Sandwich Cookies

Preparing the Cookie Dough

Combine the dry ingredients: in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and cream soda for added flavor. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Chill the dough for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Baking the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough into rounds and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.

Making the Butterbeer Filling

In a mixing bowl, blend the sweetened condensed milk with caramel extract and butterbeer flavor (or frosting if using store-bought). Whip until smooth and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip for easy assembly.

Assembling the Sandwich Cookies

Spread or pipe a generous layer of butterbeer frosting onto the bottom of one cookie, then top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat for all cookies. For an extra magical touch, sprinkle with edible gold dust or decorative sprinkles.

4. Tips for the Best ButterBeer Sandwich Cookies

• Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading during baking.
