  1. Delicious! I love butterscotch and these cookies definitely deliver a big butterscotch flavor. I used (2) 3.5 oz boxes of cook-and-serve butterscotch pudding and made the same changes that Deb's Recipes did. I used an 11 oz. pkg. of butterscotch chips and no chocolate chips, and I used 2 cups of flour and left out the 1 cup rolled oats. Also, I chilled the dough overnight in the refrigerator. These cookies were a big hit on my holiday cookie tray. *Made for the Cookathon for Kittencal*
     
  2. This recipe was amazing and so easy to do- I read all the reviews and followed the directions precisely but when i cooked them mine kept coming out really flat/greasy/runny. i tried turning the oven temp down but that hardly helped. after adding another 1/2 cup of flour they're starting to look like normal cookies now :) so delicious!
     
  3. I have to put these in the freezer soon or else they will all be eaten!They are so moist and delicious!I made a few changes to this recipe for my own preferences.I used whole wheat flour,white chocolate chunks instead of butterscotch and maple syrup because I did not have maple extract.I also omitted salt and pecans.I left them in for 11 minutes which made them nice and soft.I don't like a crispy cookie.Thanks for the great recipe!
     
  4. Yum ~ Yum ~ YUMMY cookies bursting with butterscoth flavor! I used two 3.5-ounce boxes cook & serve butterscotch pudding and all butterscotch chips. I did not have regular rolled outs and so replaced them with an equal amount of flour ~ The substitution did not detract from the amazing texture of these impressive cookies. My husband, a dedicated lover of all things butterscotch, and I thank you Kitten for a great recipe!
