How to Make Banana Cookies
By lawdoctorlee
A light fluffy cookie that goes great with a cup of "Joe"
So, those last two bananas are sitting on your counter turning black. Don't throw them out! Make some fantastic banana cookies :-) This is a new recipe for me, so I hope you enjoy.
2 very ripe bananas
1 tsp tangarine zest
1 tsp of pure vanilla extract, imitation vanilla just isn't the same (or a little more if your zest is overpowering the dough)
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 1/4 Cups of butter (softened) (real butter not margarine)
2 Cups of flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp of baking powder
1 egg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In one bowl mash bananas tuntil almost "liquidy." In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg, zest, bananas, and vanilla. Mix well after adding each ingredient. Add baking soda and baking powder and mix well. Add flour gradually, mixing well. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough 2 inches apart onto cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool on rack.
Hope that coffee pot is ready. Fill up your mug with a hot cup of coffee and eat the cookies enjoying a little piece of heaven.
