FAQ
Can I use regular Bisquick instead of Heart Smart?
Yes, regular Bisquick works perfectly. The Heart Smart version just has less saturated fat but the texture and taste will be very similar.
What if I don't have brown sugar?
You can substitute white sugar but cookies will be less chewy and have milder flavor. Mix 1 cup white sugar with 1 tablespoon molasses for brown sugar substitute.
How long do these cookies keep?
Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze baked cookies up to 3 months in freezer bags.
