Recipe: Banana Bread Cookies

Banana bread cookies. These are the best. Take the best gluten free banana bread and turn them into cookies. What you get is the sweetest bite of banana goodness. It’s like a banana muffin, yet only the top – the best part.

Please, make these and give them a try. They’re so good.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of white sugar
• stick of salted butter
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla
• 3 large black bananas
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 2 cups of gluten free flour
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1 cup of chocolate chips

First, set the oven to 350 degrees. Then, in a bowl, mash the blacked bananas (the blacker, the better) and mix in the baking soda. Let it sit for a few moments. Now, in your mixer, beat the butter and sugar. Add in the egg and vanilla. Then, add in the mashed bananas.

Sift the flour, salt, and cinnamon together and add to the batter. Mix gently until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Spoon out drops onto a silicone line baking sheet and bake for about 13 minutes – until lightly golden brown. Cool on wire racks.

These will be hard not to eat right out of the oven, yet do try and let them cool for about 10 minutes. The anticipation will be worth it.

This recipe makes about 24 cookies – if you make them big, like I do. You could probably get about 30 if you made them a tad smaller.

Well, there you have it – some of the best and softest cookies around. When I make a batch I often have to portion some off for our lunches later in the week, otherwise we’ll eat them all in a day. Yes, they’re that good. Well, at least we think so.

Thanks so much for visiting and happy Saturday. See you again soon.
