Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup shortening
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups oats
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and achieve the perfect texture.
-
Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix, brown sugar, shortening, cocoa powder, and eggs. Use a spoon or electric mixer to blend the ingredients until a smooth dough forms.
-
Incorporate chocolate chips & oats: Once the dough is well-combined, gently stir in the chocolate chips and oats. These add delicious texture and flavor to your cookies, creating a delightful contrast with every bite.
-
Shape the cookies: Using a rounded teaspoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart. This allows room for the cookies to spread as they bake, preventing them from sticking together.
-
Bake to perfection: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until the cookies are set. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking, as this can result in dry cookies.
-
Cool & enjoy: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and immediately transfer them to a wire rack to cool. Allowing them to cool completely ensures that they firm up properly and develop their signature chewy texture.
