Day 249: Bisquick Cookies-YUCK

Turns out, you CAN mess up a chocolate chip cookie.  I didn't think it could be done, since I've rarely met a cookie I don't like, but actually, it can.  Do not, I repeat, do not try making cookies with Bisquick.  Unless you like dry, tasteless lumps for dessert.  Then, by all means, have at it. 

In case you have a morbid sense of curiosity, here's the recipe:

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 egg
2 3/4 cups Bisquick baking mix
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (6 oz)
1/2 cup nuts, chopped, if desired (optional)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, mix butter, sugar, vanilla and egg. Stir in Bisquick mix, chocolate chips and nuts.

2. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet, d about 2 inches apart; flatten slightly.

3. Bake 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.

If you are looking for a GOOD recipe, I suggest trying these using corn starch for fluffiness, or these, using vanilla pudding mix to make them soft and delicious.  You can do better than a box mix!!!
