    Helpful Tips For Making Peanut Butter Banana Cookies

    Silicone Baking Mats 

    I love using silicone baking mats or parchment paper for lining our baking sheets. This creates a non-stick surface so no cookies get stuck on the pan. And the cleanup is a breeze. If you do buy the mats they are washable and re-useable. 

    Cookie Scoop 

    I recommend using a cookie scoop so all the cookies are the same size. This ensures all the cookies cook evenly and you don't run the risk of the cookies being slightly over cooked or under cooked. 

    Texture of the Dough 

    If your cookie dough is too wet, you can add a tablespoon or two extra of the flour. Depending on the size of your bananas you might need to alter the dough slightly.

    Roll In Sugar 

    You can roll your cookies in granulated sugar and then place on the baking sheet and press your fork on top to create the indents. Then bake the same. The extra sugar will elevate the sweetness. 

    Dip in Chocolate 

    You can dip half the cookie in melted chocolate or even drizzle with some chocolate to bring another layer of flavor into the cookies.

    Peanut Butter Banana Cookies FAQs

    Can I use frozen bananas for this cookie? 

    You can use fresh or frozen mashed bananas. Just thaw your frozen bananas first that way they incorporate nicely into the cookie dough.
