Butterscotch Cookies – Soft and Chewy Butterscotch Chip Pudding Cookies are so soft and fluffy. Butterscotch pudding and butterscotch chips give them tons of flavor.
Have you ever made pudding cookies? If you haven’t, you need to change that fast! They are super easy to make, and turn out thick, soft, and chewy every time. Double Chocolate M&M Cookies are similar to regular chocolate chip cookies, but with the added pudding.
You can mix up the flavor and make Mint Chocolate Pudding cookies if you are more of a chocolate fan. So many ways to mix it up! You will never get bored with cookies again.
Butterscotch desserts are one of my husband’s favorites. I almost never make them though, because I just forget about the flavor. But Peanut Butter Butterscotch Rice Krispie treats are kind of a must. They pretty much just melt in your mouth.
So if you have a butterscotch fan in your house, these butterscotch cookies are a must! This Cookie Butter Butterscotch Fudge looks insanely good! Or this Butterscotch Pie looks like it is next on my list of things to make!
I have made pudding cookies a few times before, and they are always thick and chewy. The recipe is pretty close to your basic chocolate chip cookies, but you add in some pudding and I changed up the chips. Very easy and great for any day of the week. Butterscotch Triple Chip Cookies are another favorite as well.
You can even freeze some of the dough, so you can bake fresh cookies whenever the cravings strike. My husband bought these cookies into work one day, and I am pretty sure he came home with an empty container the same day. I think it is safe to say butterscotch cookies are definitely a win.
So if you haven’t tried pudding cookies yet, you have to change that! These butterscotch cookies will be a huge hit!

Jean Tav says
I love making spritz cookies for the holidays. I started making them when I was about 10 years old helping my mom.
Stacy says
Erin, that may be one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard: Please make chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate. Poor guy. I’ll bet he was thrilled with these butterscotch cookies! I’ve done cake batter with pudding but never cookies and now I cannot imagine why not! They look wonderful!
Joyce Chatman says
I like to make chocolate chips with pecans and coconut.
Carol says
Do you know if these can be made with gluten-free flour? Thanks!
Erin S says
Carol, I have never done any gluten-free baking, so I am not sure. But if you can normally substitute it in a cookie recipe, then I am sure it will work great! Hope you enjoy!

Two things: receipe doesn’t state what size pudding and the recipe doesn’t state what size cookie scoop to use. Otherwise, great recipe, the hubby loves them!
Erin S says
I updated the recipe with the size of pudding – sorry about that, they only sell 1 size of butterscotch in my stores.
You can use whatever size cookie scoop you want. You can make super small cookies, or jumbo cookies, you just want to bake until they are done.
