Banana Bread Cookies

 Ingredients:

Cookie Base

1/2 cup  salted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup  brown sugar

1 banana, mashed 

1 tsp vanilla

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup old fashion oat- put in food processor to make oat flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

Cinnamon and Sugar Mixture

1/3 cup  granulated sugar

2 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350° F . Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner and set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the salted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and overripe banana and vanilla for 1 minute, or until light in color and fluffy in texture.

Add the flour,  oat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the mixer. Mix until a soft dough or thick batter forms.

Roll batter into small balls ( was easier with hand that are wet). The batter is pretty sticky.

Roll balls into sugar and cinnamon mixture.

Place on cookie sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes.

Let the cookies sit on the cookie sheet for about a minute or so.

Remove and place on cooling rack.

Mei gave me a bunch of very ripe bananas this morning. I saw this recipe awhile ago and it was on my list to make.

Mei came over to bring us Chili she made. Gave her cookies to bring home.

BTW- The cookies were good
