You’re welcome.

    Great recipe, and quite forgiving! Without thinking, I used a stick and a half of butter from another recipe. And I only had one large banana. I’d had a power outage and so my electric range and the oven was showing 287° maximum. So I baked them in my microwave combi air fryer. And they came out fine. Then I finally figured out that 287° is Celsius and I was able to change it to maximum 550. And I baked the rest in my regular oven. They both came out really well. And I love how flat the cookies are.

    Literally my favorite recipe. I make these a lot. I tweak them a little but they’re amazing. I add cinnamon and raw cane sugar. Even did some strawberries and white chocolate chips

    Great cookies!
    Also, I can confirm they are completely idiot proof. I did not have enough butter so I guestimated a bit of canola oil to compensate. The butter came straight from the fridge too so I couldn’t properly cream it with the sugar, meaning when I mixed everything together there were still very visible chunks of butter. Then because I’m hella impatient as a person, I never bothered to chill the whole thing first and just tossed it in the cold oven to bake. Oh and I didn’t do circle cookies thing so I just did one big mono-cooki on the baking sheet to cut up afterwards. Cookies tasted amazing. Texture was fantastic. Fool proof recipe. I can confirm, for I am the fool.

    Wow!! Never made banana cookies before.
    I was wanting to use up 2 very ripe bananas and was looking to make something other than banana bread, muffins, cake, etc. so I searched banana recipe and this appeared. I’m so happy I found this. Baked them this morning and wow!! Just wow! So perfect!
    Just what I was imagining the taste and texture would be like. My new favorite banana Recipe! Thank you!!
    I did everything exact. Baked for 10 mins.
    Perfection!
    Thank you again!

    These were SO good even with all the substitutions I made. Sorry!! I subbed the brown sugar for date powder and the granulated sugar for raw cane sugar.
    They were absolutely delicious and my teen loved the fact that they had no oats in them!

    I have tried for years different recipes for cookies and always had fluffy cookies. These came out perfectly flat and chewy. So amazing! Must be the lack of egg? Anyways THANKYOUUUU!
