🌟 Tips for Banana Bread Cookies
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Slightly underbaking makes them extra soft and chewy.
- Add rolled oats or coconut flakes for a heartier cookie.
If you want, I can also give a “washboard-style banana bread cookie” version, where the cookies are pressed with a fork for that classic ridged look—just like mini banana bread loaves in cookie form.
Do you want me to do that?
