Tips:
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Use ripe bananas. Overripe bananas will produce a sweeter, more flavorful cookie.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Be careful not to overbake the cookies. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.
