Notes
Baking time: Be sure to keep an eye on the oven while cookies bake, as the baking time depends on your oven's settings and the thickness of the cookies.
Spacing: Place cookies on a lined baking sheet with a little spacing between them. Too much spacing is not required, as banana cookies don't spread much during baking.
Oil: Lightly oil your hands before shaping the mixture into balls to keep it from sticking.
Banana: Use ripe bananas for the best cookies. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and softer the cookies will be. Bananas with spots work best.
