Adelaide was windy & raining today, so naturally I chose to stay home for the whole day. I also chose to bake cookies :)
I was after a simple recipe for cookies, rampaging through my bookmarks and found a really (really) simple one. It was actually a recipe for choc chip cookies, but I changed a few ingredients and tada!!! Banana cranberry cookies ^^.
These cookies smell wonderful while baking, and I made them on the softer side, just because I like soft cookies. But if you prefer a more crunchy texture then simply bake them about 5-10 minutes longer. They are also dairy free, but still taste great because of the mashed banana.
Anyway, I won't stall you any longer. Below is my recipe:
Ingredients:
125gr unsalted butter (1/2cup), softened
3/4 cup light or dark brown sugar
1 ripened banana, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 1/4 cups plain flour
1 cup dried cranberries
Directions:
Line your baking sheet/pan with baking paper. Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celcius.
Using your mixer, beat softened butter and brown sugar until combined, light & fluffy (about 2-3 minutes on medium).
Add mashed banana and vanilla extract, beat to combine.
Add salt, flour and dried cranberries all at once. Use your spatula to fold and mix through, until just combined. You don't want to over-mix because that will result in tough cookies, or they might spread too much while baking.
Drop heaped tablespoon of dough on baking pan. I used 1-tablespoon ice cream scoop for this.
Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing.
Make 20 small cookies.
Let me know how they turn out! Happy baking everyone !
