Hello from a banana freak.
I can't be the only one out there that likes their bananas to crunch, right?
You know the kind of banana.
Slightly green. Peel hard to get off.
Yup, that is just how I like to eat my bananas.
In cereal, plain, with chocolate...
It just can't taste like a banana to me.
Strange. I know.
But in the cookies I made last week or these Toffee Banana Coconut Muffins,
you have to leave them on the counter for a while.
Not a problem for me because as soon as they loose their green hue,
I won't touch them with a ten foot pole.
I don't know what to say about these yummy cookies from last week.
Best cookie to date.
Chocolate. Toffee.
Banana bread like texture.
Even better the next day.
Gone.
Yea, that just about sums it up.
So get out those fat pants and whip up a batch today.
What are you waiting for?
Your bananas are too green?
Ok, gotcha!
I guess you could always clean...which is how I'm going to spend this day.
Anyone want to do it for me???
I pay really well...in cookies.

These sounds delicious!!! Do you have any suggestions on substitutions for the instant coffee granules? I don't drink coffee, so I don't have any in the house... Please help 🙁
Jocelyn
You can just leave it out...they will be fine without the instant coffee. I hope you enjoy them!

I just made these tonight.. They are super delish!!! I used a ice cream scoop to spoon my dough.. Are the cookies supposed to be doughy & super gooey in the center?????! I love soft cookies, but wasn't sure if the bananas make the cookies more gooey in the center or if I just need to bake them longer... Help

I do know all ovens bake slightly different. It sounds like they might need to be baked 1-2 minutes more. Give them more time to set up though before you change your bake time. After they cool completely, you might be surprised at how fudgey and delicious they are.

That looks delicious! I never eat bananas plain (*gag*) so baking with them is my favorite go-to option. Love this!
Jocelyn
@gennasmomma...sorry about that. you can add it with the butter mixture. I fixed the recipe:-)
Gennasmomma
When do you add the salt?

That sure looks awesome
Ashley @ Kitchen Meets Girl
Ha! You eat your bananas just like I eat mine--so glad I'm not alone! =) These cookies look sooooo good, and I just happen to have some (still green) bananas on my counter!
Hayley
Mmm, I love bananas and their flavor. And hey, from being sick I have a bunch of spotty bananas that didn't get eaten last week. So woohoo! I'll help you clean only if you pay me in these 🙂 copious amounts and extra- banana-y, please!
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust
Gack, I get that little lump in my throat when I think of green bananas. Well, any banana really, but especially the green ones. I can choke down a couple bites of a brown spotted one. But I can eat loads of bananas in treats. So these cookies are perfect for me. YUM! 🙂
Aimee
Freak! Nobody eats green bananas! Wow, we really are different after all 🙂
These cookies though, bring us back together, they look amazing!
