You have seen snickerdoodles here already – I know! But these here are made with bananananaaaas :P Whole new world!

Since I made snickerdoodles for the first time, I am totally hooked on those little fellas (recipe here)! Oh, almost forgot – Happy Cookie Friday!!! Yay!
Dunno why I like those cookies so much – is it the texture, the cinnamon or the sugar that makes me happy? Can’t tell. They are just so good. Hard to believe I survived without snickerdoodle cookies so many years :P
These here are made with bananas – not the tiny ones from the pictures – I mean real bananas. I only used those for the pictures cause one big banana next to the cookies would have looked weird – believe me, I know what I am talking about. Take a look for yourself: Nutella Banana Cookies :P
Anyways – banana is a great addition to the cookie – I bet you will like it too! Now make some cookies!

INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
For the dough:
2 large overripe bananas
2 1/2 cups (325g) all-purpose flour (plus more if necessary)
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup (200g) sugar
1/3 cup (65g) brown sugar
2/3 cup (160ml) vegetable oil
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
For the rolling:
1/4 cup (50g) sugar
1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
Für den Teig:
2 große überreife Bananen
325g Mehl (Type 405) – evtl. mehr
1 EL Backpulver
1/4 TL Salz
200g Zucker
65g brauner Zucker
160ml Pflanzenöl
1 EL Vanille Extrakt
Für das Ausrollen:
50g Zucker
1 EL Zimt

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with baking parchment. Mix the sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl. Make small balls with the dough (about 1 tablespoon dough per cookie) and roll in the sugar-cinnamon mix. Flatten the balls a bit and place on the baking sheets with at least 2 inches (5cm) space in between. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet for some time and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Zwei Backbleche mit Backpapier auslegen. Den Zucker mit Zimt in einer kleinen Schüssel vermischen. Aus dem Teig kleine Kugeln formen (etwa 1 EL Teig) und dann in der Zimt-Zuckermischung wenden. Die Kugeln etwas flachdrücken und mit genügend Abstand (ca.5cm/2 inches) dazwischen auf die Bleche legen. Für 8-10 Minuten backen, aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf dem Blech etwas abkühlen lassen, dann auf ein Kuchengitter legen und komplett auskühlen lassen.

Banana Snickerdoodles
- Prep Time: 30
- Cook Time: 10
- Total Time: 105
- Yield: 24 1x
Ingredients
- 2 large overripe bananas
- 2 1/2 cups (325g) all-purpose flour (plus more if necessary)
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 cup (200g) sugar
- 1/3 cup (65g) brown sugar
- 2/3 cup (160ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
For the rolling
- 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
- 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Mash the bananas with a fork in a large bowl. Add the sugars, oil and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. In a second bowl mix flour with baking powder and salt – add gradually to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Depending on the size of the bananas you used, the dough might be a bit runny – it should be quite soft, but if you think it’s too much, add some more flour and mix in. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour or over night.
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with baking parchment. Mix the sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl. Make small balls with the dough (about 1 tablespoon dough per cookie) and roll in the sugar-cinnamon mix. Flatten the balls a bit and place on the baking sheets with at least 2 inches (5cm) space inbetween. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet for some time and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Enjoy baking!
Lieber marc, die sehen mal wieder fantastisch aus!
Bananen liegen schon bereit und warten nur darauf reif genug zu sein, damit es endlich los gehen kann ;) Mit etwas Glück gehts dann morgen direkt an die Rührschüsseln ^^
If you’re a fan of snickerdoodles, you MUST try these — they are amazing!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe. Super easy and it makes the most deliciously soft and chewy cookie, with just the right amount of banana-y goodness. They are my families favorite new treat.
