Banana Cookies Recipe Whiskaffair

on Mar 13, 2024 Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Almond Cookies are some of my other favorite cookie recipes. Do try them as well. My Pune house has a few banana trees. Once in 6 months, we get a huge bunch with 200 plus fruits. The downside is that the bananas ripen very quickly after harvesting and need to be finished within 4-5 days. I share them with neighbors, and my house helps. I also freeze a few to make smoothies later, but there is enough left even after that. That is when we make batches of my banana walnut bread and these banana cookies.

About Banana Cookies

These Banana Cookies are soft, cake-like, chewy textured cookies made with overripe bananas. They are a great way to use those leftover overripe bananas you were about to trash. The recipe for these is very straightforward, and they are hands down the best banana-flavored cookies I’ve ever had.

Storage Suggestions

You can store these banana cookies for about a week in an airtight container at room temperature. All-Purpose Flour – This is the base of this cookie recipe. You can substitute it with whole wheat flour, but the texture and taste will differ. Spices – Flavor the cookies with ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg. You can use Pumpkin Pie Spice instead of the ground spices I used in the recipe. Pecans add a great crunch to these soft cookies. You can also use walnuts or almonds instead of pecans. Sugar – I have used granulated white sugar, but you can use brown sugar too. Other – You will also need unsalted butter, large eggs, and vanilla extract. You can add chocolate chips to the batter to give it that chocolaty flavor and name it Chocolate Chip Banana Cookie. Whisk ½ cup unsalted butter (at room temperature) and 1 cup granulated white sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a handheld wire whisk, an electric hand blender, or a stand mixer.

2 cups of all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg ½ teaspoon ground cloves

Tip – Gently shape the batter between your palms to make round cookies. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely. Enjoy! These cookies freeze well. Once they are ready, freeze them on a tray for about 4 to 5 hours. Then, transfer them to freezer-safe ziplock bags and freeze them. Whenever you plan to serve them, thaw them overnight in the fridge. Reheat in an oven or an air fryer and serve.
