Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    One of the great things about monster cookies is you can customize your cookies with your favorite ingredients. Peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and peanut butter candy are all great substitutions you could make.
  • tip 2
    Not sure which nuts to add? A common nut choice for these would be pecans, peanuts or walnuts but feel free to experiment.
  • tip 3
    Old fashioned or quick-cooking oats, what’s the difference and which one should you use? Both of these are whole oats that have been steamed and rolled. The difference is quick-cooking oats are cut into small pieces before steaming which gives baked goods a softer texture. Old-fashioned oats are not cut before steaming so they retain their shape and will be more noticeable, adding their distinct texture in baked goods. Both are great for baking these monster cookies so it’s up to you to decide what sounds best!

    We love baking with Bisquick™. In just one box the possibilities are endless for what tasty creation you could create! In addition to cookie recipes such as this one for Bisquick™ Chocolate Chip Cookies, we also love using the classic baking mix in other sweet recipes like Bisquick™ Banana Nut Bread or Bisquick™ Strawberry Shortcake.
