BANANA RUM COCONUT COOKIES



BANANA RUM COCONUT COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Fruit     Dessert     Bake

Yield 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup ripe mashed banana (about 1 medium)
1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon rum
3/4 cup all-purpose flour (about 3 1/3 ounces)
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup flaked sweetened coconut
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Dash of ground ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Place first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until blended. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and remaining ingredients, stirring with a whisk. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture. Drop dough by 2 tablespoonfuls onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 19 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pan; cool completely on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best texture, use ripe bananas. Overripe bananas will result in overly mushy cookies, while underripe bananas will yield dry cookies.
  • Use unsweetened shredded coconut. Sweetened coconut will make the cookies excessively sweet.
  • For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • To ensure even baking, use a cookie scoop to portion the dough. This will help create uniform-sized cookies that bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying them. This will help them firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Coconut banana cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their moist, chewy texture and sweet, tropical flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a tasty snack or dessert, give these coconut banana cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
