Banana cookies

Well, well, there were still a few bananas left, so I decided to make some cookies. 



This is a very simple and easy to make cookie, but be warned that the texture is cake-like and is therefore not crunchy nor hard. They should turn out moist and chewy.

The recipe is taken from http://www.lifeloveandsugar.com/2014/02/11/moist-chewy-banana-oatmeal-cookies/ 


Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Yield: makes 34-36 cookies

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup mashed bananas
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cloves
2 tsp cornstarch
3 cups old fashioned oats


Instructions

1. Mix together butter, brown sugar, sugar, egg, vanilla extract and mashed bananas until well 
combined.

2. Add flour, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves and cornstarch and mix until combined.

3. Stir in oats.

4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

5. Spoon tablespoons of dough onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Flatten dough a little bit, into thick discs. They will spread a little when baked.

6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges just start to golden.

7. Remove from oven and cool on cookie sheet for 3-4 minutes, then move to cooling rack to finish cooling.
