Expert Tips for the Best Result
Use very ripe bananas—this means they contribute maximum sweetness and moisture.
For crunchy-edged cookies, flatten the cookies a little and bake 1-2 minutes longer.
Allow cookies to cool fully to prevent them from becoming soggy in storage.
These cookies are soft and chewy and not at all crispy; they should just melt in your mouth!
