Tips For Making Chocolate Chip Cookies

Bake The Cookies Until They Are Golden On The Outside

When the cookies are beginning the firm on the outside and are becoming golden brown take them out from the oven. The centre of the cookies will set at room temperature.

Use Ripe Bananas

This will give you flavoursome banana cookies.

Refrigerate The Cookie Dough

This will help the cookie spread more evenly in the oven. Refrigerating will also give them a better texture.

How Do I Know Why My Chocolate Chip Cookies Are Ready?

The edges should be golden brown and quite crispy. The centre of the cookies may look a little underdone but they will firm up at room temperature when they come out of the oven.

How Ripe Should My Bananas Be For Baking?

You want your bananas to be as spotty as possible and fairly black. This means that they will be super sweet and flavoursome.

You can also speed up the process by placing the bananas in the oven at 150 Celsius (300F) for 30 minutes until the peels turn black.

Customise This Recipe

Use white chocolate chips. Vegan white chocolate chips also taste great in these cookies. Choose whichever your favourite is.

Frequently Asked Questions
