Instructions for how to make our Chocolate Butterscotch Chip Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set it to the side.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.
Using a stand or electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until it is light and fluffy. This should take at least 2 minutes.
Once combined, add in the chocolate pudding mix, pure vanilla extract and the eggs and beat on high speed for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add Butterscotch Chips and stir with a rubber spatula until mixed thoroughly.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and turn the mixer on low to start, after about 1 minute then turn the mixer up to high and mix until combined.
Use a cookie scoop to make even cookie dough balls and place them on your parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly golden and just set on the top. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
