Banana Snickerdoodles
What to do with overripe bananas? That's the age-old question, isn't it? And it seems like I ask it every time I buy a few, since bananas go from green to overripe in about 2 days here in our Texas summer. I can't stand to eat them after they get the first freckles, and I'm not a big fan of banana bread.
So, where does that leave me? Looking for new recipes, and I think I found a good one! Lisa is Cooking recently posted on Noble Pig's Banana Snickerdoodle recipe that was adapted from Going Berserk. Get all that? No worries; all you need to know is that these cookies are fabulous! Just follow the links to the recipes.
I only changed one little thing. The recipe called for baking the doodles at 400 degrees for 9 minutes. I did that for the first batch but they were a touch too toasty for me. I lowered the temp down to 375 and the cooking time to 8 minutes for the rest of the batches, and they were perfect. This recipe made a whopping delicious 4 dozen Banana Snickerdoodles.

Those look awesome! I can’t stand bananas either once they start to freckle, but I do like banana bread, just don’t make it too often.

These were really easy too, LilSis. Maybe you could get HayHay to help roll the balls!

great, now i want my own stack o’ snickerdoodles. right now. i’ve seen these popping up everywhere, and i have to say that i’m afraid the banana would overwhelm my beloved cinnamon. i’d give em a taste though. a taste, or perhaps 25. 🙂

Hey, Grace. I know what you mean about the cinnamon (btw, do you use Penzeys awesome cinnamon?), but the banana flavor isn’t strong at all. It adds a little something that’s hard to identify. I think you’d like these!
