"Butterscotch" Cake Batter Cookies



I copied this recipe from Pinterest, again, what a surprise... But did not follow the recipe exactly.

I try to use what I already have in the house, as much as I can. I did not have vanilla pudding mix but I had butterscotch. I also had some leftover butterscotch chips from some cookies I made around Christmas, and star shaped sprinkles not round ones.

They turned out great! They're very soft and plump, tasty and cute. But I did find them a bit too sweet with the butterscotch. I'd really like to try the vanilla as in the original recipe. Also, they turned out a maple brown color, not white, because of the butterscotch pudding as well... so not as pretty as the pinterest recipe... but still a success overall!

Enjoy!

Here is the original recipe (Thank you to http://chef-n-training.blogspot.com!)

1 and 1/2 sticks (or 3/4 cup) butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 (3.4 oz/99g) package instant vanilla pudding mix
3/4 cup boxed yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla (I always add double the vanilla - thanks to Chef Michael Smith - its always better!)
1 tsp baking soda
2-1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
about 1/3 jar of sprinkles

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Stir together flour, salt and baking soda and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars together.
Add in pudding package and cake mix and beat until well blended.
Add eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth.
Add flour mixture slowly until well incorporated.
Mix in sprinkles.

Roll into 1" balls and place on greased baking sheet. (I used ungreased and it was fine)
Bake at 350 F for 10-12 minutes.

Afterthought:  Apparently I am crazy. I thought I used butterscotch chips, but I noticed right away after I took the first batch out that something smelled like peanut butter. Guess what... after cooking 3 more batches I decided to look in the garbage and guess what... they were peanut butter chips, not butterscotch. LOL! So basically, I completely botched this recipe. They still taste good, but I will have to do a re-do and post it again when I 'find some time'!

Running a half marathon?!?!!?

Image
  I have only done a "real" run four times in my life - three 'Run for the Cure's and one Tim Horton's 'Chilly Chase"', all were 5km. I've always been impressed by people who accomplish longer runs, like even 'just' a 10km, or a half marathon (21km I think) and especially full marathons/triathlons. I think sometimes people say from the very beginning "oh man, no way, I just am not built for that... I could never do it". Which I have said a few times about long distance runs any longer than 5km. I wonder though, if it really is possible. A friend of mine, someone I've known since Kindergarten, she says she's done a few of these half marathons with little to no training. She just "does it", pretty much. Well, she's now asking me to train with her for the Goodlife Half Marathon on May 6, 2012 .We both belong to the same gym, and live so close together, and have both always had similar sports inte...

3 Months in the Center of the Universe and Counting!

Well... since I last wrote I was still wallowing in the loss of poor Frank. He and I parted ways and I now own a bigger, better bottle of tantalizing deliciousness. In my fridge in Toronto that is! Just a brief update because I have to go to work... On October 23, 2009, Lindsay and I piled into Bo-Deese the Big Bad Blue (my VW Golf) at 4:30am and DROVE to Toronto! We stayed in Calgary, Prince Albert, Winnipeg, Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie along the way, and arrived safe and sound (and could probably handle another 6 days of driving if we really wanted to) in Toronto on October 28, 2009! Check out the video if you want: And I'm still here! I love it so far. It's been just over 3 months, and I'm living in a great area of Toronto, just about on the border of Etobicoke. I'm a couple blocks north of the Lake, just west of High Park, in the Bloor West Village area. I really could not live in a better area. It's close to everything, it's not too city-ish. It's ...

Cicadas in the Mist

So whoever says Toronto is a concrete jungle, I beg to differ! It may be a city that experiences harsh, cold winters that turn the city brown and barren, and I had been told to expect a hot Summer, but a JUNGLE? You think I'm exaggerating. I'm not! I swear, some days if you told me to close my eyes and guess where I was by my other senses, I'd say Uganda or India or Malaysia. Especially on those 35+ degree days. The humidity is saturating, the air is hot, the cicadas buzz like a weed-whacker in the trees when the heat has quieted the birds, the evenings are full of chirping crickets, and best of all the air smells of that lush, wet, leafy, peaty, smucky smell of a real tropical jungle. Mixing that with just a tiny touch of exhaust fumes it smells EXACTLY like a city in the tropics. It's the smell that gets me the most. I love it. And some days it's even misty/steamy in the mornings, which reminds me of waking up in a tent or banda in Uganda and looking out over a ...
