Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try substituting almond butter for peanut butter. If you prefer a richer flavor, add a pinch of salt to the dough. Make sure to roll the dough balls in sugar for a sweet crust. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate candies instead of kisses for variety. Keep an eye on the cookies while baking, as ovens may vary.

For a fun twist, try pairing them with a slice of Not So Sweet Pecan Pie for a mix of flavors. They can also be enjoyed as a sweet snack any time of the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cookies without Bisquick?
Yes, you can substitute Bisquick with an equal amount of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This will mimic the convenience of Bisquick while allowing you to control the ingredients better. Just ensure you mix the dry ingredients thoroughly before incorporating them into the wet mixture.
How can I make these cookies more chocolatey?
To enhance the chocolate flavor, try adding mini chocolate chips to the dough before baking. This will create a delightful chocolate burst in every bite. You could also use dark chocolate kisses for a richer taste, or drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies for an extra treat.
Can I freeze these cookies?
Absolutely! You can freeze the cookies either before or after baking. For unbaked dough, roll the balls and place them on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to a freezer bag. For baked cookies, place them in an airtight container. They can be frozen for up to three months. Just thaw and enjoy!
