How to Make Banana Jumbo Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) shortening, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- Stir in 3 ripe mashed bananas, ½ cup buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. (Chilling helps prevent spreading.)
- The dough will remain slightly sticky even after chilling. This is normal.
- For jumbo cookies, drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto lightly greased baking sheets.
- For smaller cookies, use a teaspoon.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven and cookie size.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy plain or with your favorite frosting!
