YUMMY RECIPE!
Sunflower Banana Cookies
I made these cookies today.......mostly b/c I happened to have sunflower seeds & bananas (about to go bad) and wanted to use them. They were really yummy! Here's the recipe:
You can double up on the sunflower seeds and omit the chocolate chips. Dried fruit may also be substituted.
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
* 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 2 very ripe medium bananas, peeled and mashed
* 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
* 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
* 1/2 cup shelled sunflower seeds
* 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips or dried fruit
Preparation:
Whisk together flour and baking soda in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat bananas, butter, and sugar on medium speed until thoroughly combined.
Add flour mixture half at a time, beating to incorporate. Fold in sunflower seeds and chocolate chips.
Refrigerate cookie dough for 45 minutes to 1 hour. (Cold dough helps keep the cookies from spreading.)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Scoop about 1 teaspoonful of cookie dough for each cookie and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
Enjoy!
