In reply to Amy. Hi Amy! The original recipe did use a pudding mix, but I updated the recipe. If you are still interested in the other version, I did leave a link to it in the notes section below. :)

Hi Sam. I keep seeing comments about butterscotch pudding mix but I don’t see it in the recipe. Am I overlooking it somehow?

In reply to Jodi. Hi Jodi! That should work just fine. :)

Hi Sam! Are these able to be refrigerated overnight before baking?
I know I’m going to overwhelm myself and not get all of my plans (cookies) done in one day😬

In reply to Paige Larson. That's a lot of cookie making! I'm impressed they lasted a week. That's some good self control. ;)

I’ve made these 2 times now and getting ready to make them a 3rd time. It’s my first cookie recipe using pudding mix and WOW I think it makes a huge difference. I made ‘The Worst Chocolate Chip Cookie’ recipe (for the umpteenth time) at the same time. A week later these still were just as chewy and moist while the WCCC were falling apart yet stored in the same (separate) tight seal tupperware.
These are my next favorite drop, roll, slight smush style cookies from this blog!

My picky eater grandson said it all…”Mmmm!” (Even the raw dough was yummy!)

No problems with sugar free pudding mix. They were devoured ❤

In reply to Debbie Bowman. Hi Debbie! I haven't tried it with sugar free pudding so I'm not certain how it will turn out but I don't think you should need to add anything else. Would you let me know how they turn out with the sugar free pudding?

Hi there. Getting ready to try these cookies and had a difficult time finding instant butterscotch pudding. All they had was the sugar free version. Sam should I add something to the cookies to compensate? Thanks much!

I have made these cookies four times in a row! They are fabulous–soft and delicious Unbelievably I had trouble finding the butterscotch pudding. Had to go to three stores but bought a couple at a time–need more when the craving hits. Great recipe!.

In reply to Megan. I think it will work just fine. They may try to stick to each other a little bit more from the caramel, but they should still turn out. Let me know how it works!

Instead of Butterfinger can you substitute Snickers? (My all time FAVE). I was debating giving it a whirl, but not sure if the butterscotch pudding would mess with the taste. I have nothing at all against Butterfinger, but definitely a Snikers girl! Thanks!

Now that you can get Butterfinger Baking Bits or pre-smashed Butterfingers, do you know how much would go into the cookie dough? A whole bag (10 or 11 oz.)? Thanks.

You always succeed in doing two things every time I drop by. One, you always crack me up! And two, you ALWAYS got me droolin’, man. These cookies look too good not to overindulge!

In reply to Pat. That's so funny, Pat, shortly before I saw your comment that's pretty much exactly how I got it off. I was doing dishes and figured I'd grease up my finger with dishsoap and try to pull it off. It was tight and it still hurt, but I'm free now! Thank you so much! <3

In reply to Amanda. I finally did get it, thank you Amanda! I think the butterfinger pb cups would be SO good in these!

By: Sam

Sam — Tue, 16 Aug 2016 20:13:33 +0000

Definitely a teaspoon. I hope you love the cookies!

I once had a ring stuck to my hand and I really had to rub a lot of veggie oil on there to get it off. Good luck!
I know a Butterfinger fan who will love these. I can’t wait to try them. Do you think Butterfinger peanut butter cups would be good in here too?

Haha! I definitely thought your ring was stuck from the heat… But maybe it is from the cookies! As far as I see it, that’s soooo worth it! These look incredible!
