Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Butterscotch cake mix
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butterscotch cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until a smooth dough forms. The dough will be thicker than traditional cookie dough.
Fold in the butterscotch chips using a spatula or wooden spoon until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets as they will spread slightly during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft—this is normal as they will firm up while cooling.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy these delightful Butterscotch Cake Mix Cookies with a cup of coffee or as a sweet treat on their own!
