Why we love Banana Cookies with Banana Frosting 

We’re always looking for new ways to use overripe banana’s. They’re wonderful in banana baked goods because they add moisture plus the banana flavor we all love!

We love banana bread and banana cakes but this was our first time to make banana cookies. We adored them!

Helpful baking tips for higher elevations:

• If you live 3,000 feet above sea level or more it is considered high elevation and may take longer to cook/bake. 

• Adjustments are needed for 5000+ feet and above:

• Reduce baking powder: for each teaspoon, decrease 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon.

• Reduce sugar: for each cup, decrease 2 tablespoons.

• Increase liquid: for each cup, add 2 to 4 tablespoons.

• Increase oven temperature by 25 degrees F.

• Check if it is done a little early.

• This takes some trial and error to get it right for you.
