How to make Chocolate Banana Cookies:
- Start making these banana and chocolate cookies by mashing the bananas very well until they have the consistency of a puree.

- Tip: If you use pastry flour (rising), which already has yeast, you can eliminate the yeast from the recipe.
- Add the sugar and softened butter and mix everything with a whisk or a spatula. You can use manual or electric rods. If you don’t want to use butter, you can substitute it with 80 ml of sunflower oil or 50 ml of olive oil. In this way, in addition, you will have some healthy banana cookies.
- Trick: You can soften the butter by putting it in the microwave for 30 seconds at medium temperature or in a water bath until soft.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix until the banana cookie dough ingredients are well integrated.
- With the help of a spoon, put small amounts of the dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper (baking) and greased with butter or oil or. This dough is not compact like traditional butter cookies, which is why you will need a spoon. Leave the banana and chocolate cookies to rise for 30 minutes in the fridge so that the dough hardens a bit.
- Tip: Preheat the oven to 180 ºC with heat up and down for about 15 minutes before taking the cookies out of the fridge.
- Bake the banana cookies for 15-20 minutes, or until you see that they are golden. After taking them out of the oven, let them cool down a bit and peel them off the paper with a spatula if you have any difficulties.
- Ready! You already have your recipe for banana and chocolate cookies ready to serve. Children will love them and you will get them to eat fruit in a much more fun way. You can eat them accompanied by a coffee, a smoothie, a natural juice… Likewise, if you feel like it, you can decorate them with lemon glaze, which will add extra flavor and texture to your cookies.
