I have been on a bit of a baking binge this week.
Brownies, Apple Pie and now cookies.
These cookies came about because I only had one egg and an abundance of over ripe bananas.
Anyone else have a stockpile of these in their freezer?
Yep, that is where we keep them. In the freezer.
When bananas start to get brown and too mushy to eat, don’t throw them out. Throw them in the freezer.
They will turn black – don’t be alarmed – they are perfectly fine. The flavor actually intensifies in the deep freeze.
When ready to use, just pull one out and microwave in the peel for a few seconds to thaw. Cut off one end and squeeze out the goodness.
This is one of my favorite cookie recipes. I don’t even recall how I came to possess it. It must have come in the mail with my Martha Stewart subscription. My old Martha Stewart subscription. I finally let it lapse a few years ago. It was liking breaking up with my first love. Actually that was easier than letting go of my beloved magazine.
Anyhoo… this little recipe card is well loved and used. You will have to forgive the bits of dough and splatters. At least you know it has been tested.
