Total Time 20 mins

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter room temperature
1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
1/4 cup white sugar
1 large egg at room temperature
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup butterscotch pudding mix dry
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp, salt
1 cup butterscotch chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

For the cookie dough:

Cream together the butter and both sugars until creamy or about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the pudding mix, flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Stir and then slowly combine the dry and wet ingredients.
Fold in the butterscotch chips.

For baking:

Using a cookie scoop, scoop large bits of dough onto a cookie sheet.
Bake for about 8-10 minutes. By slightly under-baking the cookies, they will remain very soft and chewy. So pull them out slightly under-baked and allow to cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

So excited you posted this recipe. For some weird, quirky reason, every time I go grocery shopping, I pick up a box of butterscotch pudding mix. I have no idea why. So now I have a cookie recipe to use them in! Have an amazing Week! ~Liz

Is the butterscotch pudding mix regular or instant? Thanks! Looks like a must-try.

I made these this week for the Barbers next to my office. They went NUTS! 🙌🏻 What an awesome recipe. I did add a tad bit of cinnamon to the batter while mixing though. Thanks for sharing!
