Baking Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and the Krusteaz Butter Vanilla Sugar Cookie Mix using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Step 3: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then add the Instant Butterscotch Pudding Mix, blending well until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Optionally, fold in the candy corn for a pop of color.
  5. Step 5: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Monitor closely to prevent overbaking.
  7. Step 7: Cool on baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes

  • Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • For a chewier cookie, slightly underbake by a minute or two.
  • Mix in your favorite nuts or dried fruits for added texture.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet-salty contrast.
