A Cookie Is A Cookie, Not A Scone

Have you ever made a recipe and it just didn't turn out as expected? It happens to me often. I either ditch the recipe or keep trying until I get it right.

However this particular recipe left me more disappointed than usual because I expected to at least get a cookie that looked similar to what I saw in the photo.



I found this recipe in our local town pennysaver with no credit to its origin.   It was an easy recipe but it was not a cookie.

Blueberry Biscuit Cookie
Ingredients

• 2 cups biscuit mix
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• 2 TBLS. low fat milk
• 1/2 cup honey, divided

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl combine biscuit mix, blueberries, nuts and milk and mix well then adding enough honey to make a cookie dough like mixture.
3. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon drop dough onto greased (or parchment lined) cookie sheet.
4. Bake until edges turn a golden brown, about 15 minutes.
5. Remove from oven, cool on wire racks. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with a side of honey for drizzling and Greek yogurt.

When I tasted the 'cookie' I knew it wasn't a cookie.  It was more like a biscuit, then again it had the texture of a scone.   I didn't want to discard it but it needed some sweetness so I added powdered sugar.    That wasn't quite enough so I put a 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt in a dish and drizzled it with honey which I used as a dip for the biscuit/scone/cookie.    Turned out to be a light lunch.

Give it a try if you like biscuits and scones. It's quick and easy!
