Notes
- Storage Tips: These cookies keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, they can be frozen and enjoyed within 2 months. Just make sure they're completely cool before storing.
- Customization Ideas: Feel free to play around with the nuts and chocolate chips in this recipe. Almonds, pecans, or even a mix of your favorite nuts can work beautifully. Dark chocolate chips or white chocolate chips are also delicious alternatives.
- Banana Ripeness: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more moist your cookies will be. Look for bananas that are soft and have lots of brown spots.
- Serving Suggestion: These cookies are fantastic on their own, but for an extra special treat, pair them with a cold glass of milk or a cup of coffee. They also make a great ice cream sandwich base.
