00:00.800 --> 00:04.240
Don't throw away your overripened or sad

00:04.240 --> 00:06.480
looking bananas. I'm going to show you

00:06.480 --> 00:10.240
how to make a really quick and easy but

00:10.240 --> 00:14.559
oh so delicious banana bread cookies.

00:14.559 --> 00:16.640
This is only going to happen with six

00:16.640 --> 00:18.240
ingredients.

00:18.240 --> 00:21.359
The first being the bananas. Now, this

00:21.359 --> 00:24.640
recipe is half of a recipe, so that

00:24.640 --> 00:26.480
doesn't make a lot of cookies. I'm going

00:26.480 --> 00:29.840
to be using one overripe and sad looking

00:29.840 --> 00:32.160
banana. Now, you may have even more

00:32.160 --> 00:35.200
overripe bananas like like this here. I

00:35.200 --> 00:36.640
have another recipe for that that I'm

00:36.640 --> 00:38.160
going to be bringing y'all. We're going

00:38.160 --> 00:41.040
to start in a large mixing bowl. We're

00:41.040 --> 00:43.440
going to place one overripe and sad

00:43.440 --> 00:45.600
looking banana.

00:45.600 --> 00:47.520
These are the best, you guys. If you

00:47.520 --> 00:49.840
don't want to make banana bread, then

00:49.840 --> 00:52.239
make the cookies. It's really simple and

00:52.239 --> 00:54.320
easy.

00:54.320 --> 00:56.640
It's going to make your house smell

00:56.640 --> 01:00.000
delicious with these aromomas.

01:00.000 --> 01:03.440
Now, what's great about this recipe is

01:03.440 --> 01:09.840
that you can add nuts to it. You can add

01:09.840 --> 01:11.760
chocolate chips to this recipe if you

01:11.760 --> 01:14.320
want to do that. All right, we got our

01:14.320 --> 01:16.080
one banana in there. We're going to grab

01:16.080 --> 01:18.000
a fork,

01:18.000 --> 01:22.400
mash it up. Want it nice and smooth.

01:22.400 --> 01:24.560
Now, this banana has to go through all

01:24.560 --> 01:26.640
the cookies. So, we want to make sure

01:26.640 --> 01:30.360
it's nice and smooth.

01:30.479 --> 01:32.320
That looks good. You can definitely

01:32.320 --> 01:34.560
smell banana in there. We're going to

01:34.560 --> 01:37.759
add half a stick or a/4 cup of melted

01:37.759 --> 01:41.280
butter. Let's melt it.

01:41.280 --> 01:45.079
Let's add it to the bananas.

01:45.920 --> 01:49.880
All right, let's mix that in.

01:50.560 --> 01:52.720
Now, butter is going to add a richness

01:52.720 --> 01:54.960
to our cookies.

01:54.960 --> 01:57.439
If you don't want to use butter, you can

01:57.439 --> 02:00.560
certainly use your vegetable oil

02:00.560 --> 02:03.200
in place of that. The oil is cheaper

02:03.200 --> 02:05.600
than the butter, but the butter adds a

02:05.600 --> 02:08.800
delicious flavor to it. All right, you

02:08.800 --> 02:10.959
guys. We got that mixed up. Now, what

02:10.959 --> 02:13.280
we're going to do is add in half a cup

02:13.280 --> 02:17.280
of sugar, granulated sugar. Now, I'm

02:17.280 --> 02:19.920
using cane sugar because it's less

02:19.920 --> 02:22.720
processed than the white sugar. So,

02:22.720 --> 02:24.160
y'all have been asking me that in the

02:24.160 --> 02:26.720
comments.

02:26.720 --> 02:28.959
So, we're just going to need half a cup.

02:28.959 --> 02:30.400
We're going to stir that into the banana

02:30.400 --> 02:32.319
and the butter.

02:32.319 --> 02:33.680
All right. Now, I've switched out to a

02:33.680 --> 02:38.760
whisk. Be easier to incorporate.

02:39.920 --> 02:44.480
All right. We want a nice smooth batter.

02:44.480 --> 02:48.239
Smells heavenly in there.

02:48.239 --> 02:50.239
Now, you do need the sugar in here to

02:50.239 --> 02:52.239
kind of offset the the bananas, the

02:52.239 --> 02:54.560
sweetness of them, but you don't have to

02:54.560 --> 02:56.319
add a full half a cup if you don't want

02:56.319 --> 02:58.959
to. You can minimize that.

02:58.959 --> 03:00.640
All right, let's get our dry

03:00.640 --> 03:02.640
ingredients. There's only three. I'm

03:02.640 --> 03:04.239
going to get a small sifter. I'm just

03:04.239 --> 03:06.159
going to place it on top of the bowl.

03:06.159 --> 03:08.720
And then we're going to add in one cup

03:08.720 --> 03:11.599
of allpurpose flour. I'm going to go in

03:11.599 --> 03:14.000
half a cup at a time. Start sifting that

03:14.000 --> 03:17.000
in.

03:17.680 --> 03:20.879
Now, you need the flour to hold together

03:20.879 --> 03:24.120
the cookies.

03:24.879 --> 03:26.560
Now, before I start really sifting the

03:26.560 --> 03:28.720
flour in, I'm going to add in 1/4

03:28.720 --> 03:32.760
teaspoon of salt

03:33.200 --> 03:37.840
and then 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda.

03:37.840 --> 03:41.120
That will help give a rise to the

03:41.120 --> 03:43.680
cookies.

03:43.680 --> 03:46.319
Hit it on the side here. Start sifting

03:46.319 --> 03:49.680
that flour, baking soda, and salt in.

03:49.680 --> 03:51.920
And the salt will help offset the

03:51.920 --> 03:53.360
sweetness of the cookies and the

03:53.360 --> 03:56.560
bananas. And then the baking soda will

03:56.560 --> 04:01.920
help give a little rise to our cookies.

04:01.920 --> 04:04.239
Let it snow. You know, that's what it's

04:04.239 --> 04:06.480
fixing to do somewhere the next few

04:06.480 --> 04:08.239
days.

04:08.239 --> 04:12.159
I think we're expecting the rain and the

04:12.159 --> 04:14.000
very, very, very cold weather. We're

04:14.000 --> 04:15.680
even supposed to get down into the

04:15.680 --> 04:17.600
teens,

04:17.600 --> 04:20.400
so we will get ice. All right, we have

04:20.400 --> 04:21.680
our flour in. And now we're going to

04:21.680 --> 04:25.360
take a spatula and fold it in. You can

04:25.360 --> 04:28.240
just kind of stir it to get it going.

04:28.240 --> 04:29.840
We're not going to over mix. We just

04:29.840 --> 04:31.280
want to make sure that the flour gets

04:31.280 --> 04:34.160
incorporated.

04:34.160 --> 04:35.759
Just pull down the sides with that

04:35.759 --> 04:38.560
excess flour on it.

04:38.560 --> 04:40.479
We'll do one final mix. We don't want to

04:40.479 --> 04:43.040
over mix.

04:43.040 --> 04:46.320
That's perfect right there.

04:46.320 --> 04:47.919
You're going to need a sheet pan. Now,

04:47.919 --> 04:49.759
I've lined mine with some parchment

04:49.759 --> 04:51.680
paper. You're going to need a cookie

04:51.680 --> 04:53.680
scoop or you can use a large tablespoon

04:53.680 --> 04:55.040
if you want to do that. This is the one

04:55.040 --> 04:56.639
and a half inch. So, it's kind of the

04:56.639 --> 04:58.880
smallest one or I think there's a

04:58.880 --> 05:01.040
smaller one, right? Yeah. So, we're just

05:01.040 --> 05:03.280
going to go in

05:03.280 --> 05:05.280
kind of scrape it off, flatten it off on

05:05.280 --> 05:08.320
the edge like that. Can y'all see? And

05:08.320 --> 05:09.759
then we're going to put it on our

05:09.759 --> 05:12.240
parchment paper here. Now, as we're

05:12.240 --> 05:14.240
putting the dough on the parchment, make

05:14.240 --> 05:15.680
sure you leave room in between the

05:15.680 --> 05:19.960
cookies because they will spread out.

05:21.199 --> 05:25.880
Just like that. Flatten it out.

05:38.880 --> 05:40.800
And I think that's what we're going to

05:40.800 --> 05:43.280
get. How many cookies is that?

05:43.280 --> 05:44.320
11.

05:44.320 --> 05:46.000
11.

05:46.000 --> 05:48.720
Maybe we can get one more on there.

05:48.720 --> 05:53.048
Let me move you over a little bit.

05:53.048 --> 05:55.068
[snorts]

05:56.560 --> 05:58.639
scraping for that 12th one, huh?

05:58.639 --> 06:03.479
I am. There we go.

06:03.600 --> 06:04.720
And that's going to be the one they

06:04.720 --> 06:05.520
can't get out.

06:05.520 --> 06:06.960
Yeah, [laughter] there we go.

06:06.960 --> 06:11.160
It's softened up a little bit on us.

06:12.400 --> 06:15.680
I've got my oven preheated at 350°.

06:15.680 --> 06:18.720
We're going to bake these for 8 to 10

06:18.720 --> 06:21.120
minutes until they're nice and crispy

06:21.120 --> 06:23.759
and golden brown. crispy, I mean, on the

06:23.759 --> 06:26.720
edges and golden brown on the top. And

06:26.720 --> 06:29.919
then your house must smell amazing.

06:29.919 --> 06:32.080
Almost like you made banana bread. All

06:32.080 --> 06:33.280
right, I'll be back. I'm going to show

06:33.280 --> 06:34.960
you how we're going to finish these off.

06:34.960 --> 06:37.199
Now, when I say finish them off, I'm

06:37.199 --> 06:38.880
talking about before we put them in the

06:38.880 --> 06:42.560
oven. So, as the batter is in your bowl,

06:42.560 --> 06:45.199
you're going to mix in the chocolate

06:45.199 --> 06:47.600
chips or your walnuts or other types of

06:47.600 --> 06:49.440
nuts that you want in your banana bread

06:49.440 --> 06:51.680
cookies. That's optional if you're doing

06:51.680 --> 06:53.919
that step. All right, I'll be back with

06:53.919 --> 06:57.759
a nice warm banana bread cookie for you.

06:57.759 --> 07:00.080
All right, you guys. Now, I put them in

07:00.080 --> 07:02.240
for an extra two minutes because I felt

07:02.240 --> 07:03.360
like they needed to be a little bit more

07:03.360 --> 07:05.120
firm on the top. That's totally fine.

07:05.120 --> 07:08.000
Check your cookies. I pulled them out of

07:08.000 --> 07:10.880
the oven, let them sit on the sheetpan

07:10.880 --> 07:12.560
for just a few minutes, two to three

07:12.560 --> 07:15.120
minutes, before removing them to a wire

07:15.120 --> 07:17.280
rack and let them sit for another few

07:17.280 --> 07:19.360
minutes just to kind of firm up. That

07:19.360 --> 07:21.280
way they hold their shape. Look at

07:21.280 --> 07:24.280
these.

07:25.919 --> 07:30.560
They're nice and plump cookies.

07:30.560 --> 07:32.880
Nice and golden brown all the way around

07:32.880 --> 07:35.840
the cookie.

07:35.840 --> 07:38.560
Crispy on the edges.

07:38.560 --> 07:42.280
Let's break it open.

07:43.599 --> 07:46.080
Look at that.

07:46.080 --> 07:48.960
Nice and pillowy on the inside.

07:48.960 --> 07:51.199
Y'all, it smells like banana bread in

07:51.199 --> 07:54.560
this house. That's what Thomas says.

07:54.560 --> 07:58.840
I'm going to give this a try for you.

07:59.280 --> 08:03.160
Oh, that smells amazing.

08:09.199 --> 08:11.599
Make you 12 cookies

08:11.599 --> 08:13.919
when they're nice and warm. Wow. You

08:13.919 --> 08:16.560
know how that tastes.

08:16.560 --> 08:18.460
Makes me want to slather butter on it.

08:18.460 --> 08:19.840
[laughter]

08:19.840 --> 08:21.680
I love a good piece of banana bread with

08:21.680 --> 08:25.919
butter on it. Right. Melting in.

08:25.919 --> 08:29.440
We got enough butter in there, though.

08:29.440 --> 08:31.599
All right, you guys. Give me a thumbs up

08:31.599 --> 08:33.839
on this one. Let us know the weather up

08:33.839 --> 08:35.760
there wherever you're at. [snorts] All

08:35.760 --> 08:37.440

08:37.440 --> 08:39.200
