Cookie Exchange

So I am going to a Cookie Exchange and most of the people there know I am getting ready for my surgery. But still asked me to come and chat and enjoy the time. So I made an older style cookies but I made some modifications and was wondering if any one of you Recipe savvy people could help me change it for after surgery when the time comes.

The cookies are a pudding style drop cookie.

4 ingredients

1 pkg - 4 serving JELL-O pudding (pick your flavor) [ I opted for the sugar free jello one in chocolate and one in Banana ]

1cup -  All-Purpose Baking Mix  [ I only had Bisquick on hand]

1/4 cup - Oil

1 - egg


Mix dry powders into a bowl stir in oil and egg, mix until the batter forms a ball. Shape into 36 small balls and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased tray. Flatten with the bottom of a drinking glass, and IF YOU WANT sprinkle with sugar [I opted to not]

Cook for 5-8 mins in 350*
let cook on wire rack.


So any of you savvy post ops got any information for me?




(BTW my son loved them without knowing they are sugar free LOL)

Even though I'm not the cook in the house, I love to pass these recipes along to my wife. Thanks for posting this one.

I always substitute canned pumpkin for the oil. You need plain/pure pumpkin though, not the pumpkin pie mix.

You can also take some portion of the flour/baking mix and use protein powder in its place. I generally will substitute about half of the flour with protein powder.

ETA some people use applesauce instead of oil. I use pumpkin because it has less sugar and a slight bit of protein, but sometimes you can taste it in the cookie.
