Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies are made with butterscotch pudding mix and milk chocolate chips. Amazingly soft and chewy cookies bursting with butterscotch flavor.

Cookies made with pudding mix are always so soft and chewy and those recipes are some of my absolute favorite cookie recipes. I’ve made dozens of pudding cookie recipes, but I’m not sure why I never tried butterscotch pudding before now. I think I may have a new favorite! And I’m not usually a huge butterscotch fan, so that’s saying something.

Why you need to try these Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies:

Delicious flavors. The butterscotch flavor combined with milk chocolate chips is incredible. But if you aren’t wanting butterscotch or you don’t have butterscotch pudding on hand, you can swap out the pudding with another flavor. Lots of possible combinations!
Amazing texture. Pudding mix in cookies yields soft and thick cookies – just the way I like them!

Ingredients in Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies

Butter – I use salted butter, but you can use unsalted if you prefer. No margarine! Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before adding to the recipe.

Sugars – You will need granulated sugar and brown sugar. For best results, make sure the brown sugar is soft and fresh.

Butterscotch pudding mix – A small box of instant butterscotch pudding mix adds flavor to the cookies and results in cookies with the perfect consistency.

Eggs – Two eggs will help bind all of the other ingredients together.

Vanilla extract – The higher the quality of the vanilla, the better!

Flour – All-purpose flour works best in these cookies. Cake flour also works well.

Baking soda – Baking soda is the leavening agent in the cookies. For best results, make sure the baking soda isn’t old or expired.

Milk chocolate chips – Milk chocolate chips pair perfectly with the butterscotch flavor of the cookies, but you can use semi-sweet if you prefer.

Tips for making Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies

The full recipe for Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies can be found below on the recipe card, here are a few helpful tips!

Use a cookie scoop! If you want all your cookies to be perfectly shaped and have them all be the same size, a cookie scoop is the way to go.
Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Doing this will make it really easy to remove the cookies from your cookie sheet so that you don’t have to scrape them off the pan – they will just slide right off in perfect shape!
Don’t over bake the cookies – when I take mine out of the oven, they still look slightly underbaked but they will continue to bake on the cookie sheet for a couple more minutes so that’s ok!

STORAGE AND FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS

Butterscotch Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days. If you want to freeze them, place the cookies in a Ziplock bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.

Ingredients

1 cup butter softened to room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 3.4 oz box instant butterscotch pudding mix
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 bag 12 oz milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°.
Cream butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes. Add pudding mix and mix for another minute. Add eggs and vanilla and mix for 2-3 more minutes.
Add flour and baking soda and mix into the batter just until completely mixed. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto prepared cookie sheets. Use cookie sheets lined with silicone baking mats or parchment paper or lightly grease the cookie sheets.
Bake cookies for 9-10 minutes or until the middles are set and the edges barely start to brown up.

HOW DO YOU KEEP COOKIES SOFT?

After the cookies have cooled, simply place them in an airtight container to keep them fresh for as long as possible. If they start to get hard, you can place a piece of bread in the container to keep the cookies fresh and soft for longer.

CAN I MAKE THE COOKIES IN ADVANCE?

Yes, you can make the cookies up to 2-3 days in advance and store them in an airtight container until ready to serve. They can also be frozen and thawed as needed. You can freeze the baked cookies, but I actually prefer to freeze the dough pre-scooped into balls so that I can make them fresh every time!

Just freeze the cookie dough balls individually (laid out on a cookie sheet) before placing all of them together in an airtight container or Ziplock bag. Pull them out when ready to bake. You may need to bake them for a minute or two longer than normal when baking from frozen.

Easy Butterscotch Cookies made with a sugar cookie mix and butterscotch pudding. Only 5 ingredients needed for these delicious cookies that are soft, chewy and packed with tons of butterscotch flavor!

I’ve made a lot of cookies with cake mixes, but just recently experimented with making cookies that started with a cookie mix. Add a box of butterscotch pudding mix and the cookie mix is completely transformed! Just add an egg and some butter and that’s it. Of course, I added in some butterscotch chips just to make the flavor even more intense, but you can leave those out or swap them out with chocolate chips if you prefer.

Ingredients in Easy Butterscotch Cookies

1 (17 oz) sugar cookie mix

1 (3.4 oz) box instant butterscotch pudding mix

1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature

1 egg

1 cup butterscotch chips

How to make Easy Butterscotch Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°.

In a large bowl, mix the sugar cookie mix and butterscotch pudding mix with the egg and butter. I like to use an electric mixer because the dough is pretty thick, but you can mix with a wooden spoon if you prefer.

Fold in the butterscotch chips (or leave them out or swap them out for chocolate chips). Use a cookie scoop to scoop out the cookies and place on prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes, just until the edges barely begin to turn a light golden brown.

HOW DO YOU MAKE PERFECT BUTTERSCOTCH COOKIES?

Making Easy Butterscotch cookies is easy! Here are a few tips to getting perfect cookies every time!

Make sure you use softened butter – DON’T melt it! One of the most common errors in cookie making is using butter that is either really cold and hard, or using butter that is too warm and melted. If you have time, just leave butter out on the counter for about 1-2 hours before making your cookies. If you are like me and don’t plan your cookie cravings that far in advance, just place the butter in your microwave and soften in 5 second intervals, being very careful to pull it out before it melts. I actually like to use the defrost setting on my microwave to soften butter- I don’t know the technical reasons behind it, but it seems to soften the butter more evenly and takes a little bit longer so I’m less likely to start melting it!
Preheat the oven. This will help your cookies turn out right every time!
Use a cookie scoop! If you want all your cookies to be perfectly shaped and have them all be the same size, a cookie scoop is the way to go.
Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Doing this will make it really easy to remove the cookies from your cookie sheet so that you don’t have to scrape them off the pan – they will just slide right off in perfect shape!
Don’t over bake the cookies – when I take mine out of the oven, they still look slightly under baked but they will continue to bake on the cookie sheet for a couple more minutes so that’s ok!

LOVE PUDDING COOKIES? SO DO WE! HERE ARE SOME OF OUR FAVORITE COOKIE RECIPES WITH PUDDING IN THEM!

This picture is from 5 years ago…first time taking the kids skiing and this little one took to it like a champ. So crazy to see how little she was…she just barely turned 11! Just looking at this picture brings back all the memories of how crazy we were to think it was a good idea to take 4 kids between the ages of 4-10 skiing for the first time all at the same time! So. Much. Work. But the kids loved it and we survived, and even have gone back several times since!
