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 are in for a real treat! You can add flavor from the pudding mix, but it also gives the cookies a thick, soft, and chewy texture that can’t be beat!
You can mix up the flavor and make Mint Chocolate Pudding Cookies if you are more of a chocolate fan. Or these Double Chocolate M&M Cookies use vanilla pudding. So many ways to mix it up! You will never get bored with cookies again.
I feel like butterscotch is a very under utilized flavor when it comes to dessert. But every time I have it, I think I need to use it more! 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!
What You’ll Need

- Butter – I always use unsalted in baking

- Granulated Sugar
- Egg
- Vanilla Extract
- Butterscotch Pudding – a pack of instant pudding mix is what you need.
- All-Purpose Flour
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- Butterscotch Chips
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!

I ever comment … but had to let you know my family loves these cookies! I have made them 3 times in the last month.
There are SO many ads I can’t follow a thing! I would have liked the recipe. Thank you!
There is a jump to recipe button that takes you directly to the full printable recipe card. You can print to a pdf file on your phone and have zero ads.
They came out perfectly soft and chewy and the kids loved them! Will definitely make again for Christmas break. Thank you for sharing!
