Banana Cookies With Dates And Nuts Food

BANANA COOKIES (WITH DATES AND NUTS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a large bowl, combine butter, sugar and eggs.
• Add bananas and vanilla, mix well.
• Add the rest of the ingredients, with dates and nuts last.
• Drop dough onto cookie sheet (sprayed with non-stick spray), and flatten slightly.
• Bake 12 minutes or until done.

BANANA NUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
• In a bowl, mix the mashed bananas and baking soda. Let sit for 2 minutes. The baking soda will react with the acid in the bananas which in turn will give the cookies their lift and rise.
• Mix the banana mixture into the butter mixture. Mix together the flour, salt, and spices and sift into the butter and banana mixture and mix until just combined.
• Fold into the batter the pecans or chocolate chips if using. Drop in dollops onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until nicely golden brown. Let cool on wire racks.
• Makes about 30 cookies.

OATMEAL BANANA NUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cream butter or margarine with mixer. Blend in whole eggs, sugar, and extract. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. When the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, add oats and pecans. Mix on lower speed until consistent.
• Drop pieces of the dough using an ice cream scoop onto an ungreased cookie tray roughly 3 to 4 inches apart.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Eight minutes would yield crispy cookies with a chewy, slightly doughy center. For harder, crispier cookies, bake longer. Cool on wire rack.

HEALTHY BANANA COOKIES

SUGAR-FREE DATE COOKIES

• Drop dough by tablespoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten lightly with the palm of your hand.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookies start to brown around the edges, being careful not to over-bake, for 11 to 13 minutes. Transfer cookies immediately to a wire rack to cool.
