BANANA EVERYTHING COOKIES



Banana Everything Cookies image

Here's a treat for the vegans in your life. Adapted from the cookbook "Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar," by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero, these cookies, which are chunky with chocolate chips, walnuts and rolled oats, are best when they are completely cooled, so their exteriors can crisp up. They do not taste strongly of banana - it's just a hint.

Time 12m

Yield About 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking oil spray
1 very ripe medium banana
1/3 cup canola oil
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups quick-cooking (not instant) oatmeal or rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup chocolate chips (vegan, if desired)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray two baking sheets with oil. In a mixing bowl, mash banana well. Add oil, sugar and vanilla, and mix with a strong fork. Add flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, and mix until just moistened.
  • Add oatmeal, walnuts and chocolate chips. Using your hands or a sturdy spoon, mix well, making sure oats are well moistened. (If dough is very slippery, add one or two extra tablespoons flour.)
  • Using clean, wet hands, re-wetting as needed, roll dough into balls slightly smaller than a golf ball, about 1 1/3 inches in diameter. Flatten slightly and place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 2 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Time 1h5m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed ripe banana
½ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup margarine
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped walnuts
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup milk, or more as needed
2 ½ cups powdered sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir mashed banana, sour cream, and vanilla together in another bowl.
  • Cream margarine and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs. Mix in banana-sour cream mixture until incorporated. Add dry ingredients until well combined. Stir in nuts.
  • Drop small spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared cookie sheet; cookies do not expand much in the oven.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, checking occasionally, until bottoms are light golden brown and cookies are set but still a tad soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove cookies to a rack to cool.
  • While the cookies are cooling, prepare frosting: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in brown sugar and reduce heat to low. Stir and bring to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in 1/4 cup milk and bring to a boil again. Remove from heat and let cool, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Gradually stir in powdered sugar until frosting is desired consistency. If frosting hardens while working, stir in a little bit of milk.
  • Spread frosting on cooled cookies.
