Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Can be replaced with coconut sugar for a lower glycemic option.
  • ½ cup unsalted butter Ensure it is at room temperature for easier melting.
  • ½ cup evaporated milk Sweetened condensed milk can be used for a richer flavor.
  • 1 pkg instant butterscotch pudding mix Use other flavors like vanilla or chocolate pudding for variation.
  • 2 cups quick oats Do not substitute with rolled oats as they will alter texture.
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Dark chocolate chips for a less sweet option.
  • ½ cup toffee chips Can be omitted for a simpler version, or replaced with chopped nuts.

Equipment

  • large saucepan
  • Spoon or cookie scoop
  • wax paper or silicone mat

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Surface: Lay out a sheet of wax paper or a silicone mat on your work surface to prevent cookies from sticking.
  2. Melt the Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and evaporated milk over medium heat. Stir constantly until combined.
  3. Boil to Perfection: Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and allow to boil undisturbed for exactly 4 minutes.
  4. Mix in the Flavor: Remove from heat and mix in instant butterscotch pudding mix and salt until fully dissolved.
  5. Combine the Ingredients: Quickly add quick oats, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and toffee chips, stirring well until all ingredients are combined.
  6. Shape the Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared surface, flattening them slightly if desired.
  7. Cool and Set: Allow cookies to cool at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
