How To Make butterscotch cake mix cookies

  • 1
    Wisk together the flour and cake and pudding mixes.
  • 2
    Mix in the oil, egg and vanilla until well blended. Stir in nuts, chocolate chips or a combination of the two.

    The cookie dough will look very crumbly once well mixed. Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. (Latex gloves work great for rolling.)

    Place balls on a baking sheet sprayed with PAM. Slightly flatten with fingers or the bottom of a glass.
  • 5
    Bake at 350° for 11 minutes or until the edges just start to brown.

    Cool on baking sheet.

    Note: If you are going to experiment with other flavor cake mixes and puddings, omit the extra flour.
