Banana Jumbo Cookies

"This is a cookie that my family has been making for a long time. It is incredibly moist and chewy cookie. We sometimes top it with a frosting but it tastes just as great alone."

  1. Thank you for this recipe! My old recipe card from childhood has entirely faded out parts and I did not want to lose it! As best I can see, this matches perfectly except mine calls also for 1/2 tsp. salt. I am delighted to have this!
     
  2. I'm not pressed! Very bland. But soft and moist
     
  3. These did have a rather cake-like texture, very light and flufffy. But they tasted very good-- kind of like banana bread in cookie form. I substituted gluten-free flour and rice milk.
     
  4. Really yummy. But it had the texture of a muffin. Next time, I think I'll add some nuts and some oats. Also spraying the spoon with cooking spray before doling out the batter makes it come off the spoon easier. Great recipe though!!
