Chocolate chip cookies are classic treats you reach for year-round—and these homemade chocolate chip cookies are our top-searched recipe! Made and enjoyed by thousands of people over the years.
This recipe was introduced on a 1939 Betty Crocker™ radio program. It later appeared in the first 1950 printing of the Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook. Betty has fine-tuned this chocolate chip cookies recipe to perfection. Back in the ‘50s, the recipe called for shortening, as it was less expensive than butter and could be stored longer. The recipe was switched to margarine (when margarine was the most popular option). Since then, we’ve learned that there is no substitute for real butter for the best flavor—period.
These cookies have been optimized for over 75 years into the best cookies you can sink your teeth into, and we think you’ll agree.

Whether you're a seasoned baker or new to the kitchen, this simple yet elegant cheesecake bar recipe is designed to impress. These prize-winning treats are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a special family dessert. Get ready to fall in love with your new favorite sweet creation.
Our classic banana bread, a longtime favorite from Betty Crocker, first appeared as a variation of a fruit loaf recipe in the 1950 Betty Crocker’s Picture Cook Book. It wasn’t until 1986 that it earned its own title in the 6th edition of the Betty Crocker Cookbook. Over the years, we’ve fine-tuned this quick bread by experimenting with different types and amounts of fats, sugars, liquids, bananas, and even a microwave method, until we perfected the recipe in 1991. Since then, it has been featured in every Big Red Cookbook.
We believe this is the best banana bread recipe, which is why we continue to use it today. With simple ingredients like ripe bananas, flour, sugar, eggs, and butter, it’s ideal for both beginners and seasoned bakers. This timeless recipe is known for being both delicious and easy to follow, making it a hit with family and friends.
You may think you don’t know anything about the 19th century Russian aristocrat Pavel Alexandrovich Stroganov, but you’ve most likely have enjoyed his namesake dish. While there are conflicting stories about the dish’s origin story, many food historians favor the version in which Stroganov’s cook, André Dupont, named his special beef fricassee for his employer. Thousands of chafing dishes later, the dish is still popular all over the world. And it’s no wonder—who could resist the succulent meal made with tender strips of beef and onions cooked in butter, simmered in a rich and creamy sauce made with sour cream, cream cheese, and mushrooms.
It may sound complicated, but in our modern take on the classic, our easy slow cooker beef stroganoff recipe needs just 15 minutes of prep and a long, slow turn in the slow cooker, and supper practically makes itself. You can walk in the door to the tantalizing aroma of this satisfying dish on any chilly weeknight; just make some hot cooked egg noodles or rice to serve it over, to hold every single drop of the amazing sauce. It’s also a terrific recipe to have up your sleeve for when friends or family come for dinner, and you want an easy recipe that will impress.
No time to plan ahead and start your slow cooker? No worries—our traditional beef stroganoff recipe can be made in a skillet on the stove top in less than 40 minutes.

The sweet syrup created while baking infuses the cake with extra flavor, making it as impressive as it is easy to make. With just 15 minutes of prep, it's easy to enjoy pineapple upside-down cake.
This classic recipe has been loved for nearly 70 years. It was first introduced in Betty Crocker’s Picture Cook Book in 1956 as a scratch cake. In 2000 we updated it to use Betty Crocker’s Super Moist Cake Mix where it debuted in the Ultimate Cake Mix Cookbook. Pineapple upside-down cake is as versatile as it is delicious and always a crowd-pleaser. Whether served at a cozy brunch, a baby shower, or as the centerpiece of a celebration, this cheery dessert is sure to add joy to any moment.
Our easy apple crisp recipe has a deliciously rich history. It debuted in our first Betty Crocker’s Picture Cook Book in 1950. Known also as “Apple Crumble,” this recipe was very similar to today’s recipe, except it didn’t contain oats. It was updated for the 1956 version of the cookbook, adding oats, and is essentially the same recipe we have today.
When the autumn air turns chilly, this is the go-to apple crisp recipe for over 800 of our fans. Fresh and tender, juicy apple slices are perfectly complemented and nestled under a blanket of brown sugar, oats, butter and fall spices. It’s a simple treat that goes from casual family suppers to potlucks or even brunch.
Our homemade peanut butter cookies are one of our cherished heirloom recipes—a classic loved by the Betty Crocker Test Kitchens and home bakers for over 75 years. First appearing in the 1950 Betty Crocker’s Picture Cook Book, this recipe has been a staple in Betty Crocker cookbooks. It’s been included in numerous other cookbooks, including the beloved 1963 Betty Crocker Cooky Book, which many (including us!) grew up with, learning how to make and bake cookies.
Over the years, very little has changed from the original recipe—why mess with perfection? In fact, many consider these the best peanut butter cookies they've ever made, and they rely on this recipe as their go-to favorite. Betty’s recipe creates tender, chewy cookies with a rich peanut butter flavor and the iconic crosshatch mark—it’s been the “stamp” of this classic treat since the beginning, making them a cookie that’s been loved for years.
When it comes to ingredients, we believe less is more. Sometimes the simplest desserts turn out to be the most delicious; and this peach cobbler is the perfect example. With its warm, juicy filling of delicate peaches, cozied up under a buttery, golden topping, this easy peach cobbler recipe is a quick way to whip up a classic dessert that's positively bursting with decadent fruit flavor. It's perfect for a special occasion or a weekday treat, and it’s super easy to make thanks to Bisquick™ Original Pancake & Baking Mix.
So, what exactly is a cobbler? The flavors are very similar to a traditional fruit pie, but with a slightly more laid-back presentation. Instead of a neat, rolled-out pastry crust, a cobbler has a more rustic, biscuit-like topping simply dolloped on top. This gives the dessert its charming, “cobbled” appearance—like the cobblestone streets of 1800’s England that the dessert was named after. The result is a delightful mix of textures: a soft, syrupy filling with a slightly crispy topping.
Cobblers can feature a wide array of different fruits, from cherries to berries, apples to sweet potatoes--but peach cobbler may be one of the most-loved varieties. And it’s easy to see why. Peaches have a light but sweet flavor that positively screams summer. Though using fresh peaches for cobbler is always amazing, our easy delicious peach cobbler recipe uses canned fruit to make prep an absolute breeze.
This incredible cobbler recipe comes together with just a few simple ingredients, giving you an easy dessert that’s guaranteed to please—especially when served warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Whether you serve this no-fuss peach cobbler at a picnic, a backyard barbecue, or just because, this dreamy dessert is bound to bring smiles all around.
Classic strawberry shortcake—a beloved American dessert—is a simple yet delightful combination of buttery biscuits, juicy sweetened strawberries, and luscious whipped cream. Its ease of preparation and irresistible taste have made it a timeless favorite.
This recipe for Bisquick™ strawberry shortcake has been around for decades—almost as long as Bisquick has been around. In the 1950s, the versatility of the mix soared in popularity, with strawberry shortcake being one of the most popular ways to use the mix. Since then, it has graced countless print ads, cookbooks, magazines, and even the Bisquick box. While early versions incorporated cream in the biscuits, our current recipe—refined over decades—uses milk and butter for optimal flavor and texture.
The beauty of shortcake lies in its adaptability. Our test kitchens have developed over 800 variations, proving its versatility. From unique flavor infusions to different fruits and cake modifications, shortcake is the perfect dessert for any occasion.
Why are chicken casseroles so comforting? From the tender chicken and other filling ingredients to the creamy “gravy”, these meal-in one dishes are filling, soothing, and easy to make.

All you’ll need is chicken, a couple of cans of cream of chicken soup, cheddar cheese, bread crumbs and butter to create a creamy homestyle casserole with that desired buttery and crunchy breadcrumb topping.
Yes, this chicken casserole is simple and delicious, but what we love most is its versatility. Trying to find a way to use leftover turkey? Feel free to use it in place of the chicken. Only have cream of mushroom soup on hand? That sounds good to us! It’s easy to make our chicken casserole your own.
Pot pies can be time consuming to make, if you are mixing and rolling out scratch pie pastry, creating a scratch sauce, and chopping fresh veggies. Our 10-minute prep easy pot pie recipe streamlines the work so that making a pot pie is easy for any night of the week! How is it made easier? Our Easy Chicken Pot Pie recipe starts with frozen veggies and canned condensed soup for the sauce which slashes loads of prep time, but it doesn’t stop there. Our batter, made with Bisquick™, forms a top and bottom crust while it bakes, so you don’t need to make pie pastry.
This easy-to-prepare favorite is a natural choice for supper when the nights turn chilly. It’s also a terrific way to use up your holiday bird, when you have leftovers.

Dump cakes became popular when cake mixes were introduced and are considered a classic American dessert. They usually contain fruit (traditionally pie filling), dry cake mix, and butter. As you can guess by their name, the ingredients are dumped into the pan without any mixing, which means getting this 3-ingredient apple cake into the oven can be done with little to no effort at all.
The consistency of dump cakes is more like a fruit cobbler or fruit crisp than they are cake-like. Other ingredients such as nuts and spices can be added for endless variations and to make it your own. They are heavenly served warm with ice cream or whipped cream on top.
Because of its simplicity to get it to the oven, it’s a terrific end to any weeknight meal or whenever you are in the mood for a sweet treat! It also feeds a crowd, so it’s a great one to bring to a potluck. If someone you love is feeling ill, this comforting recipe will bring them a lot of cheer while being quick and easy for you to throw together. This homey, casual dessert with fresh apples is great to serve anytime of the year.
We’ve been baking this iconic snickerdoodle cookie since 1950 and we love it just as much today as we did 75 years ago. After decades of baking and testing our classic snickerdoodle cookie recipe, we think we’ve made it even better over time. While our snickerdoodle cookie recipe has largely remained the same, we did make one change that has made a big difference. Our original recipe calls for shortening, and that makes sense. Shortening helps create a thicker, softer, and more pillowy texture, but we love the flavor and crispiness butter brings to the party, so we changed the recipe to include both. Now, our users tell us this is the best snickerdoodle recipe they’ve ever made, and we agree!

The history of beef stroganoff is hundreds of years old, but it first appeared in a Betty Crocker cookbook in 1961.

We’ve tried it all and landed on, what we think, is the perfect homemade beef stroganoff. Warm, savory and comforting, this is the beef stroganoff of your dreams!
