Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough cookies. 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 create a crispy exterior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
