Don't throw away your overripened or sad
0:04
looking bananas. I'm going to show you
0:06
how to make a really quick and easy but
0:10
oh so delicious banana bread cookies.
0:14
This is only going to happen with six
0:16
ingredients.
0:18
The first being the bananas. Now, this
0:21
recipe is half of a recipe, so that
0:24
doesn't make a lot of cookies. I'm going
0:26
to be using one overripe and sad looking
0:29
banana. Now, you may have even more
0:32
overripe bananas like like this here. I
0:35
have another recipe for that that I'm
0:36
going to be bringing y'all. We're going
0:38
to start in a large mixing bowl. We're
0:41
going to place one overripe and sad
0:43
looking banana.
0:45
These are the best, you guys. If you
0:47
don't want to make banana bread, then
0:49
make the cookies. It's really simple and
0:52
easy.
0:54
It's going to make your house smell
0:56
delicious with these aromomas.
1:00
Now, what's great about this recipe is
1:03
that you can add nuts to it. You can add
1:09
chocolate chips to this recipe if you
1:11
want to do that. All right, we got our
1:14
one banana in there. We're going to grab
1:16
a fork,
1:18
mash it up. Want it nice and smooth.
1:22
Now, this banana has to go through all
1:24
the cookies. So, we want to make sure
1:26
it's nice and smooth.
1:30
That looks good. You can definitely
1:32
smell banana in there. We're going to
1:34
add half a stick or a/4 cup of melted
1:37
butter. Let's melt it.
1:41
Let's add it to the bananas.
1:45
All right, let's mix that in.
1:50
Now, butter is going to add a richness
1:52
to our cookies.
1:54
If you don't want to use butter, you can
1:57
certainly use your vegetable oil
2:00
in place of that. The oil is cheaper
2:03
than the butter, but the butter adds a
2:05
delicious flavor to it. All right, you
2:08
guys. We got that mixed up. Now, what
2:10
we're going to do is add in half a cup
2:13
of sugar, granulated sugar. Now, I'm
2:17
using cane sugar because it's less
2:19
processed than the white sugar. So,
2:22
y'all have been asking me that in the
2:24
comments.
2:26
So, we're just going to need half a cup.
2:28
We're going to stir that into the banana
2:30
and the butter.
2:32
All right. Now, I've switched out to a
2:33
whisk. Be easier to incorporate.
2:39
All right. We want a nice smooth batter.
2:44
Smells heavenly in there.
2:48
Now, you do need the sugar in here to
2:50
kind of offset the the bananas, the
2:52
sweetness of them, but you don't have to
2:54
add a full half a cup if you don't want
2:56
to. You can minimize that.
2:58
All right, let's get our dry
3:00
ingredients. There's only three. I'm
3:02
going to get a small sifter. I'm just
3:04
going to place it on top of the bowl.
3:06
And then we're going to add in one cup
3:08
of allpurpose flour. I'm going to go in
3:11
half a cup at a time. Start sifting that
3:14
in.
3:17
Now, you need the flour to hold together
3:20
the cookies.
3:24
Now, before I start really sifting the
3:26
flour in, I'm going to add in 1/4
3:28
teaspoon of salt
3:33
and then 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda.
3:37
That will help give a rise to the
3:41
cookies.
3:43
Hit it on the side here. Start sifting
3:46
that flour, baking soda, and salt in.
3:49
And the salt will help offset the
3:51
sweetness of the cookies and the
3:53
bananas. And then the baking soda will
3:56
help give a little rise to our cookies.
4:01
Let it snow. You know, that's what it's
4:04
fixing to do somewhere the next few
4:06
days.
4:08
I think we're expecting the rain and the
4:12
very, very, very cold weather. We're
4:14
even supposed to get down into the
4:15
teens,
4:17
so we will get ice. All right, we have
4:20
our flour in. And now we're going to
4:21
take a spatula and fold it in. You can
4:25
just kind of stir it to get it going.
4:28
We're not going to over mix. We just
4:29
want to make sure that the flour gets
4:31
incorporated.
4:34
Just pull down the sides with that
4:35
excess flour on it.
4:38
We'll do one final mix. We don't want to
4:40
over mix.
4:43
That's perfect right there.
4:46
You're going to need a sheet pan. Now,
4:47
I've lined mine with some parchment
4:49
paper. You're going to need a cookie
4:51
scoop or you can use a large tablespoon
4:53
if you want to do that. This is the one
4:55
and a half inch. So, it's kind of the
4:56
smallest one or I think there's a
4:58
smaller one, right? Yeah. So, we're just
5:01
going to go in
5:03
kind of scrape it off, flatten it off on
5:05
the edge like that. Can y'all see? And
5:08
then we're going to put it on our
5:09
parchment paper here. Now, as we're
5:12
putting the dough on the parchment, make
5:14
sure you leave room in between the
5:15
cookies because they will spread out.
5:21
Just like that. Flatten it out.
5:38
And I think that's what we're going to
5:40
get. How many cookies is that?
5:43
11.
5:44
11.
5:46
Maybe we can get one more on there.
5:48
Let me move you over a little bit.
5:53
[snorts]
5:56
scraping for that 12th one, huh?
5:58
I am. There we go.
6:03
And that's going to be the one they
6:04
can't get out.
6:05
Yeah, [laughter] there we go.
6:06
It's softened up a little bit on us.
6:12
I've got my oven preheated at 350°.
6:15
We're going to bake these for 8 to 10
6:18
minutes until they're nice and crispy
6:21
and golden brown. crispy, I mean, on the
6:23
edges and golden brown on the top. And
6:26
then your house must smell amazing.
6:29
Almost like you made banana bread. All
6:32
right, I'll be back. I'm going to show
6:33
you how we're going to finish these off.
6:34
Now, when I say finish them off, I'm
6:37
talking about before we put them in the
6:38
oven. So, as the batter is in your bowl,
6:42
you're going to mix in the chocolate
6:45
chips or your walnuts or other types of
6:47
nuts that you want in your banana bread
6:49
cookies. That's optional if you're doing
6:51
that step. All right, I'll be back with
6:53
a nice warm banana bread cookie for you.
6:57
All right, you guys. Now, I put them in
7:00
for an extra two minutes because I felt
7:02
like they needed to be a little bit more
7:03
firm on the top. That's totally fine.
7:05
Check your cookies. I pulled them out of
7:08
the oven, let them sit on the sheetpan
7:10
for just a few minutes, two to three
7:12
minutes, before removing them to a wire
7:15
rack and let them sit for another few
7:17
minutes just to kind of firm up. That
7:19
way they hold their shape. Look at
7:21
these.
7:25
They're nice and plump cookies.
7:30
Nice and golden brown all the way around
7:32
the cookie.
7:35
Crispy on the edges.
7:38
Let's break it open.
7:43
Look at that.
7:46
Nice and pillowy on the inside.
7:48
Y'all, it smells like banana bread in
7:51
this house. That's what Thomas says.
7:54
I'm going to give this a try for you.
7:59
Oh, that smells amazing.
8:09
Make you 12 cookies
8:11
when they're nice and warm. Wow. You
8:13
know how that tastes.
8:16
Makes me want to slather butter on it.
8:18
[laughter]
8:19
I love a good piece of banana bread with
8:21
butter on it. Right. Melting in.
8:25
We got enough butter in there, though.
8:29
All right, you guys. Give me a thumbs up
8:31
on this one. Let us know the weather up
8:33
there wherever you're at. [snorts] All
