Categories     Desserts

Time 30m

Yield About 45 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
3 cups old-fashioned oats
1½ teaspoons cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 scant teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened but still cool
1 cup granulated sugar
¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
⅔ cup mashed bananas, from 2 overripe bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Space two oven racks so that the oven is divided into thirds. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, a few minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the egg, mashed bananas and vanilla extract; beat until combined. Add the flour and oats mixture and mix on low speed until well combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be wetter than most cookie doughs; that's okay.
  • Scoop large balls of dough (about 1½ tablespoons) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 3 inches apart, as they spread quite a bit (I use a small ice cream scooper with a wire scraper). Bake for 14-17 minutes, rotating the pans from top to bottom and front to back midway through, until golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The Cookie Dough can be Frozen for up to 3 Months: Roll the dough into balls, let set on a baking sheet in the freezer, then place in a sealable bag and press out as much air as possible. Bake as needed directly from the freezer. (Allow 1 to 2 minutes longer in the oven.) To Freeze After Baking: Let the cookies cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, remove the cookies from the container and let them come to room temperature.

EASY KIDS' RECIPE FOR FLUFFY BANANA COOKIES



Easy Kids' Recipe for Fluffy Banana Cookies image

I should rename these to the Houdini cookies, with how fast they vanish from my kitchen. Very fluffy and delicious. My daughter just turned one and loves to help make these. She pulls the paper from the butter, peels the bananas, mashes and mixes. It's so fast and easy. Any time we have a couple bananas going brown we mix up these. The recipe originated as my grandmother's banana bread, but one day I was in a rush and didn't want to wait an hour for the bread to bake so I tossed them in as cookies and we all agreed it came out better this way.

BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Use very ripe bananas for moist cookies with lots of banana flavor.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 very ripe banana, slightly mashed
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter or line 2 baking sheets.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat together butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and stir to combine. Mix in the banana and chocolate chips until just combined.
  • Drop by the tablespoons onto the baking sheet, spacing dough an inch apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Remove to cooling racks.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be. And added some chocolate chips to make the cookie tasty.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Crispy banana cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for a quick snack or as a dessert. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of these cookies that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try!
