Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Bisquick and pudding together in a bowl.
- Add cooking oil and beaten egg; mix all ingredients thoroughly.
- Shape the mixture into small balls.
- Place the balls on a cookie sheet and flatten with a glass dipped in sugar to prevent sticking.
- Bake at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes until golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a softer cookie, try using less Bisquick or adding an extra tablespoon of oil. You can also substitute the instant pudding with flavored yogurt for added moisture. If you want a crunchier cookie, bake them a minute or two longer. Don't hesitate to experiment with different flavors of pudding; chocolate and vanilla are particularly popular choices.
Serving Suggestions
These Quik Cookies are delightful on their own, but they also pair beautifully with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. For a fun twist, serve them alongside a scoop of ice cream or with fresh fruit, like slices of banana or berries. They also make a great addition to dessert platters, especially when served with recipes like Mama'S Apple Salad.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. To reheat, simply microwave for a few seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F until just heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat Bisquick instead of regular?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat Bisquick for regular Bisquick. The cookies may have a denser texture and a nuttier flavor, but they will still turn out delicious. Just keep an eye on the baking time as it may vary slightly.
What can I use if I don't have instant pudding?
If you don't have instant pudding, you can use a similar quantity of cake mix as a substitute. Alternatively, you can make your own pudding using milk and cornstarch, but make sure to let it cool before adding it to the cookie mixture.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when they are golden around the edges and slightly soft in the center. Keep in mind that they will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet. Avoid overbaking to ensure they remain soft and chewy.
