Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Mash the bananas well. Make sure there are no large chunks of banana in the batter, as this will make your cookies dense. Try to break them down as much as you can.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them rise and set quickly, resulting in a chewy cookie with a crispy exterior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Banana cake cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their soft and chewy texture, sweet banana flavor, and crispy edges, these cookies are sure to be a hit. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
