Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 box instant caramel or butterscotch pudding mix (3.4 oz box)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1.5 cups caramel chips or butterscotch chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the pudding mix to the creamed mixture and mix until well incorporated.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Step 7

Fold in the rolled oats and the caramel or butterscotch chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 8

Scoop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but still soft.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
