4 Cookies Using 1 Dough

I love simple recipes, the kind that takes only a matter of minutes to throw together but produces amazing results every time. Even better, a recipe that can make a variety of cookies using only 1 dough. I have shared this recipe in the past on my blog, but thought I would share it again and all the amazing types of cookies that this one basic recipe can produce.

Ingredients Needed: 
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter
1 egg
1 1/2 cups gluten free Bisquick

Add Ins
-mini peanut butter cups
-Hershey Kiss
-M&M's
-Sugar for rolling dough in

You can also choose chocolate chips/chunks, peanut butter filling, reese pieces, butterscotch or peanut butter chips, peanut butter m&m's, etc

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

***Steps 1-3 are for all cookies

1. Mix sugars, peanut butter, shortening, butter, and the egg in a bowl until combined.

2. Gradually add in the Bisquick until combined

3. Refrigerate dough for 60 min (if in a hurry just pop in the fridge for 10-20 min, your dough will simply be a little softer when you roll into balls, but will turn out fine)

3. Roll your dough into balls (I like to use a mini ice cream scoop to do this step) and then roll into granulated sugar

**This is where the recipe differs for each type of cookie you are making

For the Reese Cup Cookies:

Place your dough balls in a mini muffin tin and bake for 8-10min or until brown

 Once cookies are done, immediately press a Reese Cup into the cookie

Once cookies have cooled, remove from muffin tin

For the Hershey Kiss Blossoms:

Place your dough balls on a cookie sheet and bake for 8-10min or until brown

 Once cookies are done, immediately press a Hershey kiss into the cookie

Once cookies have cooled, remove from cookie sheet

For Peanut Butter Cookies:

Place your dough balls on a cookie sheet and bake for 8-10min or until brown

Once cookies have cooled, remove from cookie sheet

For Peanut Butter Cookie w/ Add Ins (choc chips, m&m's, etc)

Place your dough balls on a cookie sheet and gently press in add ins

 Bake for 8-10min or until brown

 Once cookies are done press in more add ins if needed

Once cookies have cooled, remove from cookie sheet

So there you have it folks, 4 easy cookies all from 1 simple recipe. This is a real time saver when you need to bake cookies but are crunched for time. You get 4 cookies without the mess of 4 recipes and not only will you save money but save time too! 

So what are for you waiting for, go eat those cookies you just made!!!
