These cookies are soft and chewy, and so very easy! All you need is some Bisquick® baking mix, an egg, sugar, and a little butter. They’re a great option, especially if you’re short on flour or baking soda. Easy-peasy!
I used milk chocolate chips in the cookies, but semisweet chips or chunks are fine. And add nuts if you want more texture. The cookies spread a bit, so make sure you leave a few inches between them on the baking sheet.

Soft and chewy texture. The combination of brown sugar and butter makes these cookies perfectly tender.

Ingredient Notes
- Butter: Softened butter gives the cookies a rich flavor and tender texture.
- Brown sugar: Packed brown sugar adds moisture and a hint of molasses flavor.
- Egg: Binds the dough and helps with texture.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances the sweetness and overall flavor.
- Bisquick baking mix: A convenient all-in-one substitute for flour, leavening, and salt.
- Chocolate chips: Use milk, semisweet, or even chunks.
- Nuts (optional): Chopped pecans or walnuts add crunch and contrast.
Steps to Make Bisquick Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat the oven and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Stir in the Bisquick until fully combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts.
- Scoop dough onto baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are just set.
- Cool on the pan briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Tips for Better Cookies
- Let the butter soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies and consistent baking.
- Leave space between cookies—they spread slightly as they bake.
- Don’t overbake—remove when the centers still look slightly soft for chewy results.
Recipe Variations
- Chunky version. Use chocolate chunks or chopped bars for bigger pools of chocolate.
- Double chocolate. Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the dough for a chocolate cookie base.
- Nutty twist. Mix in 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Peanut butter swirl. Swirl in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter before baking.
- Mini cookie bites. Use a smaller scoop and reduce baking time slightly for bite-size treats.
How to Store
Refrigerate: Store cooled cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freeze: Freeze baked cookies in a sealed container for up to 2 months, or freeze raw dough balls and bake from frozen as needed.
To Reheat: Warm cookies in the microwave for 10–15 seconds for that fresh-baked softness.
