I really wanted to try making some cookies with pudding mix, since I've heard good things about doing that. Hence, this recipe. These ended up soooooo moist, and I'm thinking about doing them again. Maybe chocolate pudding mix and peanut butter chips? Or cheesecake mix and cinnamon chips? The possibilities are endless! (And delicious!)
The ingredients:
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- 2 cups flour
- 1 small box of dry instant butterscotch pudding mix
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 bag butterscotch chips**
**The original recipe called for an entire bag, but there wasn't enough dough to support all of those chips! I cut it down, and that worked out much better. Plus, they won't be cutting into your hand when you shape these!
How to make them:
- Place the butter and both types of sugar into a large bowl and cream together for about two minutes. Once light and fluffy, mix in the vanilla and egg. Set to the side.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, pudding mix, and baking soda. Once combined, add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix these until they are just combined. Then fold in the butterscotch chips.
- Cover the bowl and chill for about one hour.
- Once it's time to start baking again, place the bowl of dough onto the counter, then preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Scoop the dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons' worth, then roll them until smooth.
- Place the dough onto greased baking sheets, giving them a bit of room to spread.
- Bake them for about 12 to 15 minutes, and let them cool completely on the baking sheets.
