INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Butterscotch Instant Pudding
• 1 egg
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 Tbsp. ground ginger

DIRECTIONS

• Beat butter, sugar, dry pudding mix and egg in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Mix remaining ingredients. Gradually add to butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
