Bisquick Digestives

Digestives were invented by two Scottish Doctors and, as the name suggests, they were named for the conviction that they could assist with digestion because of the use of the ingredient bicarbonate.
I think just about everyone has tried a digestive cookie in their lifetime. I enjoy them with a nice cup of coffee. I remember working in long-term care and how much the residents loved these.There are a few different digestives. Some are chocolate covered, others are more like a shortbread type of cookie. This happens to be my favorite, and I hope you like it.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Bisquick
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup confectionary sugar
  • ¼ cup milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Lightly grease your cookie sheet, I prefer to use parchment paper. Mix two cups of Bisquick with eight tablespoons of unsalted butter.
  • Use a pastry blender if you have one, if not, then use two knives and mix until crumbly.
  • Add in three quarter cups of confectionary sugar and one quarter cup of milk.
  • Knead the dough until soft, and there are no lumps. I find it easier to put all the ingredients in my mixer and let it do the job.
  • Roll the dough out to your desired thickness, being careful not to make them too thick. I find if they are too thick, they won’t have the desired crunch when biting into them.
  • Once you have the doll rolled out, cut them into shapes. I use the standard round cookie cutter, but a glass would work just as well. Once you have the cookies cut out, place them on the cookie sheet.
  • Prick cookies with a fork all over (This helps the air to move around the cookie, enabling them to bake flat).
  • Bake for approximately fifteen to twenty minutes, being careful not to burn the bottoms. Once you remove these from the oven, it’s a good idea to let them cool on the pan as it helps to crisp them up.
  • These will keep for a week if you store them in a container, or you can freeze them to keep longer, but I’m pretty sure they won’t make it there.
