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.

Tips:

  • Mash the bananas well: Make sure there are no lumps of banana in your batter. This will help the cookies bake evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape better. This is especially important if you're making large cookies.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature: Baking the cookies at a moderate temperature will help them bake evenly without burning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before frosting or decorating them.
