- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon butter extract (optional but great for butterbeer flavor)

How to Make Butterbeer Blossom Cookies
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
This creates the soft cookie base.
Step 3: Add the Egg and Flavoring
Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and butter extract until fully combined.
The butter extract adds that signature buttery flavor reminiscent of butterbeer.
Step 4: Add the Dry Ingredients
Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft cookie dough forms.
Step 5: Roll the Dough
Scoop the dough into small 1-inch balls.
Roll each ball in granulated sugar and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the cookies are set and lightly golden.
Step 7: Add the Butterbeer Kiss
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a Butterbeer Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.
The cookies will crack slightly around the edges, creating the classic blossom look.
Allow the cookies to cool completely so the chocolate can set.
