This appeared in the Orange County Register recently and I've been making them with my baking mix (Thomas Keller's Healthy Mix). Super easy and VERY good. We've been adding some pecans and dried cherries.

I can see memorizing this, as the contributor says she has done.



Take Five: Easy chocolate chip cookies

By MATT DEGEN / THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

The holiday season is a time to bake batches of sweet treats for family, friends and – let's be honest – ourselves. Too often, though, the days fly by way too quickly, leaving little time for cooking.

Don't fret: You can still squeeze in a quick baking session amid the madness, and this recipe is a prime candidate. Gloria Bogdan of Yorba Linda loves this one for chocolate chip cookies because it comes together so quickly, yet yields an irresistible treat.

"I found this in a very old Bisquick recipe book and even wrote them a letter a few years ago and told them they should consider printing it on their boxes again, since it's such a great, easy recipe!" Bogdan said. "I've given it to many over the years, as I have it memorized. I usually make it and divide into two batches, and freeze one batch to always be ready for any 'cookie emergency.' Optional additions can be added, such as oatmeal, dried cranberries, nuts or coconut. Enjoy!"
