Tips For Making Banana Cookies

Don’t mash the bananas to death – keep a little texture in them!
Always measure the mashed bananas with measuring cups. Don’t just guess by the size of the banana.
Ovens vary. Keep an eye on them and take them out when the tops are golden brown and your kitchen smells like banana bread!
They will continue to set up as they cool, so for the best texture, let them come to room temperature.
I personally like the recipe as written, but listed a few optional add-ins for people wanting more flavor. Also, my readers have added some yummy things with great success – so be sure to read the comments for more ideas!
