Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add in the room-temperature egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Use a large cookie scoop to portion out the dough into 7-8 equal balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 12-13 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are soft. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
  7. While the cookies cool, prepare the butterscotch frosting by beating the softened butter and gradually adding powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until light and fluffy.
  8. Frost cooled cookies and top with Harry Potter-inspired sprinkles.
