Review of Betty Crocker Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix

If you want to make fresh home baked Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies, but don't really feel like working too hard, then try Betty Crocker Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. I did and I am glad I did.

The Betty Crocker Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie mixes are perfectly blended with everything needed except butter and eggs. I loved not having to worry about finding and measuring several ingrediants.

Although the cooking instructions called for one stick of butter and one egg, alternative instructions say to use one-third cup of vegetable oil, one tablespoon water and one egg. I used the first version to bake my cookies.

At first, I was concerned that there wasn't enough liquid to stir the mix adequately. But I kept stirring it with a wooden spoon until the mix, butter and egg was well blended. I dropped the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip dough onto a foil lined dark baking sheet by teaspoonfuls. The Betty Crocker Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie mix bag states that it makes three dozen 2-inch cookies. My cookies turned out to be slightly smaller, but I did indeed have over three dozen cookies when I was finished baking.

The cookies were very soft and delicious. The chocolate chips melted in my mouth and were scattered moderately about. In my opinion, the Betty Crocker Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie mix produced better tasting cookies than I can buy from my grocer's deli. I believe I also received for my effort more cookies for my money.

Cookies are not meant to be health food. Two cookies made from the Betty Crocker Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie mix has about twelve percent of your daily value of fat. The mix itself isn't the culprit though since it comprises only three percent. Unfortunately, there isn't any information given on the results of the alternative mixing instructions.

I would recommend the Betty Crocker Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie mix to anyone that wants to bake cookies without too much hassle. I think that this is a great way to introduce supervised holiday cooking to the younger children. I would say that older children would appreciate being given the chance to bake cookies on their own.

I paid just over two dollars for one 17.5 once package of Betty Crocker Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie mix at Walmart. However, Betty Crocker is a well known brand and can probably be purchased at most quality retailers.
