    I just made these for my grand daughter (she loves butterscotch anything). I used a white Pillsbury cake mix as that is what I had and they are wonderful.
    Thank you for posting!

    These are absolutely delicious–used yellow cake mix and added small amounts of ground ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg for blending flavors with the butterscotch chips (about 1/3-1/2 pkg.). So nice to have all these recipes to whip up a batch in the morning in time for munching at lunch.

    Good morning!
    Can these cookies be made ahead a day or two?

    Thank you!!

      Hi Brooke ~ yes… you could make them the day before and store in an airtight container to keep fresh. Another option would be to make the cookie dough balls ahead of time and freeze to use later. Once you make the balls, just pop them on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer for a minimum of 1 hour. Then, transfer them from the cookie sheet into a freezer Ziploc, seal, and place back in the freezer. Once you’re ready to make your cookies, simply pull them out, place on a cookie sheet {with space to spread}, as you would if you were going to bake them, and set aside. Allow them to come to room temperature {about 15 minutes or so}, then bake as normal per the instructions. ENJOY!

    I have to say that I was super skeptical about using a cake mix for cookies. I was afraid they’d come out more cakey than cookie. I’m so glad I’m wrong! My only tip is to not use the entire 11 oz. bag of chips. The dough had a hard time holding it’s shape because there was more chips than dough. I’m going to try this recipe with different cake mixes and chips now. I’m looking forward to trying strawberry cake mix with white chocolate chips.

    These are FANTASTIC. Super easy, and the whole family devoured them. I added Reeses Pieces to some of them, but they were equally delicious with only the butterscotch chips. I’m making two batches for a cookie exchange. Definitely a winner!
