Recipe Tips
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the butter with a dairy-free alternative?
Yes, you can substitute the butter with a dairy-free option such as coconut oil, vegan butter, or even applesauce for a healthier option. Just make sure the alternative is at room temperature to achieve the right consistency.
How should I store leftover cookies to keep them fresh?
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Just be sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
What can I do if my cookies turn out too dry?
If your cookies are too dry, it could be due to over-measuring the flour. Make sure to spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife instead of packing it down. You can also add a bit more mashed banana or a splash of milk to the dough if needed.
