Ingredients For Making Double Chocolate Banana cookies
1 c
sugar
3/4 c
shortening or butter
1 c
mashed ripe bananas
(about 3
1 tsp
lemon juice
or orange juice
1
egg
1 tsp
vanilla extract
2 1/2 c
flour
1 tsp
cinnamon
1 tsp
baking soda
1/2 tsp
salt
1/2 c
cocoa powder
1 c
chocolate chips
The Directions:
Cream the butter and sugar together. Beat in the egg. Mix in the bananas,vanilla extract, and the juice. I used lemon juice but I think the orange would go better with the chocolate and banana.
Add all the dry ingredients.
Mix well and stir in chocolate chips.
Drop by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. (use parchment paper, a liner, or grease it first). I use two spoons to do this. One to scoop the batter, and the other to help slide it onto the baking sheet.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. I always cook cookies at the lesser time because I prefer softer cookies.
Eat as is, or make some glaze to go on top. All you need is:
1 c
powdered sugar
1-2 Tbsp
milk
1/2 tsp
almond flavoring
1-2 tsp
corn syrup
(optional. the corn syrup will help the glaze set if you're not serving them until later)
Put the powdered sugar in a small bowl and add a Tbsp of milk, along with the extract. Stir with a fork. Add a little more milk and keep stirring until smooth. Add the corn syrup if desired and stir some more. If you need to make it thinner just add a little milk. You want it to be able to drizzle, not blob.
Put the glaze in a baggie and snip a tiny hole out of one corner. This will help you get cute drizzles on your cookies. If you don't care about cute drizzles, then use a spoon to drizzle or even just frost the whole thing. I do have to admit that the glaze does mask a little of the banana flavor of the cookie. But it is still super delish!
