Chewy, buttery cookies with a hint of sweetness, quick to make with Bisquick and potato buds, perfect for a casual snack or quick treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the oleo, sugar, beaten egg, Bisquick, and Potato Buds well.
- Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets.
- Bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Let cool a short time before transferring to a rack.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your oleo is softened to room temperature for easier mixing. If you don't have Potato Buds, you can substitute with instant mashed potatoes, but adjust the quantity to maintain the right texture. For added flavor, consider mixing in some vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon. These cookies can also be enhanced by adding chocolate chips or nuts if desired.
Serving Suggestions
These Bisquick cookies are delightful on their own but can be served alongside a glass of milk or a warm cup of tea. For a fun twist, try pairing them with some Heavenly Hot Fudge for a decadent dessert. They are also a great treat for kids' parties or gatherings, and can be enjoyed as a sweet snack any time of day.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer a softer texture, you can place a slice of bread in the container to help retain moisture. To reheat, simply microwave for about 10 seconds, or warm them in a preheated oven at 300°F for a few minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use margarine instead of oleo?
Yes, you can substitute margarine for oleo in this recipe. Just ensure it's softened for easier blending. The flavor might be slightly different, but it will still yield delicious cookies.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky to drop by teaspoonfuls, you can chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will firm it up and make it easier to handle. Additionally, you can lightly flour your hands or the spoon to help with shaping.
Are these cookies suitable for freezing?
Yes, these cookies freeze well! To freeze, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer them to an airtight container or a zip-top bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. To enjoy, just thaw at room temperature or microwave for a few seconds.
