Mmm, desserts are one of life’s simple pleasures and always have a way of cheering us up especially if they’re ridiculously easy to make. Normally, making a dessert entails getting the mixer out, preheating the oven and then restlessly waiting for what seems like an eternity while there’s magic happening in the oven. With these no-bake cookies you don’t have to worry about any of that!

We love the chocolate version of these cookies, but decided to take a slightly different approach this time around and went with butterscotch chips and butterscotch pudding mix for more flavor. These butterscotch chocolate cookies are truly delicious and if you can manage waiting 15 minutes while they cool (we won’t say anything if you pop them in the freezer!), you’ll be happy campers in no time! Speaking of campers, this is also a great recipe to get the little ones involved in! Perfect for everyone, don’t wait to make these no-bake treats!
