Butterscotch Cookies Stuffed with White Chocolate Chunks

White Chocolate Stuffed Butterscotch Cookies — chewy butterscotch pudding cookies filled with white chocolate for a warm, gooey center. A packet of butterscotch pudding mix boosts the buttery caramel notes and gives the cookies a pleasing chew.

After making the popular Vanilla Pudding Cookies, I wanted to experiment with another pudding flavor in cookie form. The pudding mix not only intensifies the cookie’s flavor but also improves texture, creating a soft, chewy bite that stays tender.

I’ve used butterscotch pudding mix before in gooey butterscotch cookie bars, which have been a hit with readers and taste testers. That experience convinced me the butterscotch flavor would translate beautifully into cookies.

This cookie dough is straightforward and forgiving — you don’t even need a hand mixer if you prefer to mix by hand. I chose dark brown sugar to deepen the caramel and butterscotch notes, but regular brown sugar works fine if that’s what you have.

Because this is Lights, Camera, BAKE!, I wanted a twist — not just a standard cookie. These are white chocolate STUFFED butterscotch cookies: each ball of dough hides a piece of white chocolate so every bite can reveal a warm, melting surprise.

Comforting, sweet and fun to eat, these cookies are designed to impress. They’re equally satisfying to share or to keep all to yourself — I won’t judge if you eat the whole batch before serving.

Ingredients

  • ⅔ Cups Butter, Softened (150g)
  • ¾ Cups Dark Brown Sugar (140g)
  • ¼ Cup Sugar (50g)
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 70 g Butterscotch Pudding Mix (1 Packet)

  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • 16 Pieces White Chocolate
  • ½ Cup White Chocolate Chips, (Optional) (90g)
Metric – US Conventional

Instructions

  • Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
  • Beat the softened butter, dark brown sugar and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
  • Stir in the butterscotch pudding mix, flour, baking soda and baking powder, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
  • Fold in white chocolate chips if using.
  • Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and flatten into a disc. Place a piece of white chocolate in the center and wrap the dough around it, adding extra dough as needed so the chocolate is fully enclosed.
  • Refrigerate the formed cookie balls for one hour. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 10–15 minutes.
  • Note: the cookies will spread during baking. The longer you chill the dough, the less they will spread.
