Will you forgive us for straying from the health path this week? We found a couple recipes we think you’ll appreciate — especially if summer’s got you on the “go” and you need something good, fast and easy to take to the company summer picnic, family reunion, neighborhood barbecue, etc. You get the picture.
Pretty Darn (Bis)Quick Chocolate Chippers
Cookie baking with Bisquick eliminates the additional measuring that comes with scratch baking

1 C packed brown sugar
3 tsp vanilla
1 egg
2 ¾ C Original Bisquick mix
1 C semi-sweet chocolate chips (6 oz)
½ C chopped nuts (optional—but why not?)
Preheat oven to 375°. In large bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, vanilla and egg. Stir in Bisquick, chocolate chips and nuts. Bake about 10 min. or until golden brown. Cool and serve (who waits for ‘em to cool, really?)
