6 Ingredients to make Bisquick Chocolate Chip Cookies
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened – Make sure it’s softened (not melted) for the best texture. If you only have salted butter, reduce the added salt in the recipe by ¼ teaspoon.
- 1 cup packed brown sugar – Light or dark brown sugar both work, but dark brown sugar will give a deeper caramel-like flavor.
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract – Enhances the flavor and gives the cookies a bakery-style taste. Use pure vanilla extract for the best results.
- 1 large egg – Helps bind the ingredients together and provides structure. Room-temperature eggs mix more evenly into the dough.
- 2 ½ cups Bisquick mix – This all-in-one baking mix already includes flour, leavening, and a bit of fat, making these cookies quick and easy. You can substitute 2 cups all-purpose flour + 1 tablespoon baking powder + ½ teaspoon salt if you don’t have Bisquick on hand.
- 1 cup chocolate chips – Semi-sweet chocolate chips are the classic choice, but you can also use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate chips. Want more chocolate? Add an extra ½ cup!
Make This Recipe Yours With Additions
- Nuts – Add ½ cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds.
- Oatmeal Chocolate Chip – Swap ½ cup of Bisquick for ½ cup old-fashioned oats for a slightly heartier cookie
- Salted Caramel – Drizzle the baked cookies with melted caramel and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Espresso Kick – Add 1 teaspoon espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor and give the cookies a mocha vibe.
- S’mores Style – Stir in ½ cup mini marshmallows and ½ cup crushed graham crackers.

Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 2 ½ cups Bisquick mix
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet, milk, or dark
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line your baking sheet(s) with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine ½ cup softened, unsalted butter and 1 cup packed brown sugar. Cream together on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in 1 large room temperature egg and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
- Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Add 2 ½ cups Bisquick mix and mix on low speed until the dough is well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a spatula, fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Portion the Dough: Use a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon to measure out equal portions of dough. Place each dough ball on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are no longer glossy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For Crispier Cookies – Bake for 12-14 minutes instead of 10-12 minutes.
- For Softer, Chewier Cookies – Slightly underbake the cookies and remove them from the oven as soon as the edges are set, about 8-9 minutes.
- Make It a Cookie Bar – Press the dough into a 9×13-inch pan and bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes for an easy bar version.

My Best Cooking Tips for Making Bisquick Cookies
- Chill the Dough (Optional for Thicker Cookies) – If you want a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before scooping and baking. This helps prevent spreading and gives the cookies a chewier texture.
- Spray the Cookie Scoop – Since Bisquick cookie dough can be a little sticky, lightly spray your cookie scoop with nonstick cooking spray to help release the dough easily.
- Space the Cookies Properly – These cookies spread a bit, so leave at least 2 inches between each one on the baking sheet.
- Don’t Overmix – Once you add the Bisquick, mix just until combined. Overmixing can make the cookies dense instead of soft and chewy.
- Check for Doneness at 10 Minutes – The cookies are ready when the edges look set and lightly golden, but the centers may still look soft. They will continue to set as they cool.
How to store & reheat Bisquick Chocolate Chip Cookies
Room Temperature Storage – Keep the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To help them stay soft, add a slice of bread to the container—the cookies will pull moisture from the bread, keeping them from drying out.
Refrigerating Cookies – If you prefer chilled cookies or need them to last longer, store them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week. Before eating, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes so they soften up again.
Freezing Baked Cookies – Once the cookies are completely cool, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, move them to a freezer bag or container, placing parchment paper between layers to keep them from sticking. They’ll last about 3 months in the freezer. When ready to eat, let them thaw at room temperature.
Freezing Cookie Dough – To freeze unbaked cookies, scoop the dough into portions and place them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer the dough balls to a freezer bag and store for up to 3 months. When baking from frozen, just add an extra 1-2 minutes to the usual baking time—no need to thaw first.
Refreshing Stale Cookies – If the cookies start to feel a little dry, you can bring them back by microwaving for 5-10 seconds or warming them in a 300°F oven for a few minutes until they soften up.
Quick Recipe Help and Common Questions
Why is my cookie dough so sticky?
Cookie dough made with Bisquick can be a little tacky because it isn’t exactly a cookie dough mix, but that is how it’s supposed to be. You can try chilling the dough for 15-20 minutes, or lightly spraying your hands and cookie scoop with nonstick spray to make handling easier.
Can I make these cookies without a stand mixer?
Absolutely! You can use a hand mixer or mix the dough by hand with a sturdy spoon—just be sure to cream the butter and sugar well to get a smooth consistency.
Why are the bottoms of my cookies burning before they’re fully baked?
This usually happens if your baking sheet is too thin or dark-colored, which absorbs too much heat. Try using a light-colored, heavy-duty baking sheet and line it with parchment paper to help prevent burning.
If your oven runs hot, lower the baking temperature to 325°F and bake for a few extra minutes.
Placing the baking sheet on the middle oven rack instead of the bottom rack can also help.
