What is ButterBeer?

ButterBeer is a fictitious drink that everyone loves in the Harry Potter series! It’s described as being somewhat of a Butterscotch flavored drink. At the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando there is a recreation of ButterBeer that’s made up of a cream sod and butterscotch flavor and a sweet whipped topping.

So that’s where the inspiration for these cookies came from. Both the cookies and the filling are made with cream soda and butterscotch whiches makes them the perfect Haprry Potter ButterBeer themed cookies.

I have the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando on my travel bucket list but until then, I guess I’ll just have to stick to making my own homemade BeerButter cookies and drinks.

ButterBeer Sandwich Cookie FAQ:

Does the pudding mixture for the ButterBeer Cookie Filling need to go into the fridge?

The filling doesn’t HAVE to go in the fridge and will set up without going into the fridge. However, I found it easier to pipe the frosting into the center of the cookies after it had chilled for a bit.

Does cookie filling goop out of the sides?

If you put a ton of filling into the cookie and smash them together, then YES it will. I added a bit more than needed for photos just so that the filling would show up well in photos but a thin layer of frosting taste just fine.

Do these cookies need to be stored in the fridge?

Nope! We tested them both ways in airtight containers. Both tests tasted good but the ones left out on the counter in an air tight container tasted better. The ones in the fridge were a bit on the dry side but still good.
