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
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, 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.
Step 3
Fold in the butterscotch chips using a spatula or wooden spoon until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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!
