How to Make Oatmeal Caramel Or Butterscotch Pudding Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) melted and cooled unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Stir in 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant caramel or butterscotch pudding mix, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs and ¼ cup water until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups rolled oats, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 cup shredded coconut.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips (or butterscotch chips) and ½ cup chopped pecans.
  8. Cover the bowl and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
  9. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  10. Gently flatten each cookie with a fork.
  11. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
