Butterscotch Molasses Pudding Cookies

 This cookie adds another classic Christmas flavor, butterscotch and molasses.  You may think of molasses in relation to gingerbread but it is used in some other cookies and adds a really rich flavor.

A perfect blending of flavors in this cookie.

Butterscotch pudding is added to this cookie and it makes them so soft and gooey.

Start with 1 stick of softened butter.

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 small box butterscotch pudding mix

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/3 cup molasses.  Mix all these together until well blended.  You want to make sure there are no little chunks of butter left.

Gradually add 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour.  Mix well after each addition.

1 cup butterscotch chips.  Scoop and bake or scoop and put in the freezer. Before you bake the cookies you can roll in some sugar to add a little crunch on the outside.  I did not roll mine before baking and they were fine.  So whatever you want to do.

Bake the cookies in a preheated 350 oven.  Bake for 7-9 minutes.
