This nostalgic recipe produces the easiest chocolate chip cookies ever! These are Bisquick Chocolate Chip Cookies and are perfectly soft and gooey! No biscuits here!
This is one of those recipes that has been around for ages. It’s actually in a few of my mom’s old recipe boxes.
Bisquick Cookies? You can’t get anymore 80’s-tastic than that!
Maybe we could call them Cookie Surprise or Cookie Delight! There are SO many recipe cards in my mom’s stash that are some sort of weird conglomeration of ingredients, where “Surprise” is thrown on the end. The 80’s were a weird time.
Anyhow, using Bisquick in cookies really does make a lot of sense. All the dry ingredients are pretty much mixed together for you! BUT a few wrong turns and these could easily be turned into Chocolate Chip Biscuits…and while that sounds delicious in it’s own right, when you want a cookie, a biscuit texture is no bueno.
Which leads me to today…
I have actually made these for years, the way that my mom’s books say to…and they are good…BUT I tweaked the recipe just a touch and found the perfect balance.
Soft, but not cakey…crispy on the edge while still being chewy in the center.
Bisquick cookies…soon to be your new favorite.
They appear a little lighter in color than my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe…if this bothers you go ahead and use all brown sugar in the recipe or even dark brown sugar. Either would be fine.
BUT I like the combo of white and light brown in these. Just my thang.
Also I love a salty cookie, so I have tried these adding a little more salt to the dough. Don’t do it. The Bisquick is salty enough on it’s own it doesn’t need you going in and messing up the mix.
Trust me on this. I learned the hard way.
I used my cookie scoop to get these guys going…
And see how they spread *just the right amount?
Be careful not to overbake these, as you will end up with more of a biscuity-cakey texture. And they could get hard.
Just bake them until the bottoms appear lightly browned and take them out.
The tops will appear underdone. That’s the trick!
Believe me.
Let them cool…or don’t. I never do…
Totally gorgeous.
Make ’em. Love ’em.

Hi I love the look of these cookies it wht is a bisquick ? N if I can’t find it wht r the options ? Love ure recipies
It’s a premade dry mix that is used in pancakes, biscuits etc.. it is a lot like a self rising flour
Wow this looks delicious!
Thanks
I made these for Easter using pastel m&m’s. They were a hit. I usually don’t care for a flat cookie, but these were an exception. I will try them again using red, white & blue m&m’s for the 4th of July.
I just made these and they were delicious! This recipe is a keeper!
What??? Am I the only one who has heard of Bisquick cookies??? I`m totally missing out on these all my life! 😀
How have I never heard of these? The texture looks JUST perfect!
I first ran across the Bisquick cookie recipe a year or two ago, made them once, and thought they were pretty good. I agree with you about them being nice and salty the way they are. I also love your assessment of 80s recipes. So true! Thanks for tweaking them to be even better. I’ll have to try them this way.
These look soft and yummy! I’m really surprised they are made with bisquick mix. I have never heard of bisquick cookies before.
These look phenomenal!! I love a good chocolate chip cookie and these look perfect!
It’s always…ALWAYS…a bad idea for me to come to your blog when I’m trying to cut back on sugar. These look so darn good!
