- Hi, I'm Yumna.
And today on Feel Good Foodie
were going to make banana chocolate chip cookies.
And I've got my little helper here.
Adam.
And so last year at Christmas, Adam's class had a
cookie exchange party and
all the parents had to bring in their
favorite cookie recipes.
And a lot of mine on my blog were like super healthy,
there wasn't any butter in them. They're like,
you know, date cookies and
coconut oil cookies and things like that.
So I went to my friend's site,
who has a lot of kid friendly recipes for cookies.
And I got this banana chocolate chip cookies recipe from
little Luna.
And so Adam helped me make it for the first time.
And we loved it so much, we ended up adding it to the blog
so he's gonna help me make it today.
So the first step is,
because it's uses banana,
we're going to go ahead and mush up a banana.
So why don't you go ahead and do that, Adam,
we can do it in this bowl.
And while he's doing that,
I'm going to preheat the oven at 350.
I'm going to hold the bowl for you while you mush.
First, we're going to go ahead and cream the sugar.
We're going to add half a cup of granulated sugar
with a third of a cup of room temperature butter.
So go ahead. Let me lift this up.
All right, go ahead and add it.
Perfect.
And let's add the one third cup of butter.
- Like, just drop it in there?
- Just drop it in there.
There we go.
Now let's put this down.
I'm going to lock it
and we're going to slowly,
it will take two minutes to cream the sugar.
After about two minutes,
we're going to go ahead and add the egg in,
while the mixer is still running.
Adam, can you add that in nice and carefully?
The oven is preheated.
All of it.
Very good.
And then we want to measure half a cup of the banana.
So it's usually about one whole banana,
but we just got to measure it just to be on the safe side.
That was one large banana we had.
- Uh huh.
- Okay. Adam, can you put the banana in there now?
You can keep it running, add the banana in.
Very good.
We'll put that in here.
And then we're also going to add half a teaspoon of
vanilla extract.
So,
- To make it like,
yummy and tasty.
- Yes, put that in there.
Wonderful!
While the mixture is going,
we're going to mix the dry ingredients.
We have in here one and a fourth cup of flour.
And we're going to add a teaspoon of baking powder.
In here!
- I was going to say that
- Half a teaspoon of salt
and a fourth of a teaspoon of baking soda.
Now, while that's going, Adam,
we're going to slowly put in the flour.
We just slowly put it in there
little by little.
Now you can turn it off.
And here's the fun part.
We're going to add the chocolate chips and we're going to
fold them in.
- Yes!
- Okay. So now everything is well mixed.
We're going to go ahead and do Adam's favorite part.
We're going to add the chocolate chips.
You can toss the whole thing in there, Adam.
- YAY. It's going to be a lot of chocolate chips in there.
- Yes. It's about a cup of chocolate chips in there.
Yes!
- Whoa!
- Now we can remove the bowl
and Adam is going to stir it all up together.
Give it one good stir.
So every bite of the cookies
gets a nice big chunk of chocolate chips.
- Now all we have to do is bake it.
- Yeah, but first we have to make them into tiny little
cookie dough balls, right?
- I thought after we bake it?
- And now we're ready to
scoop them onto the prepared baking sheet.
You can grease a baking sheet or you can just use some
parchment paper.
An ice cream scoop works pretty well.
So we'll just go into plop them in here. Look at that, Adam.
Looks good, right?
- Yummy.
- All right, and we're going to bake this at 350.
- There's more.
- I know we'll do another one.
- Oh.
- We're going to bake this at 350 for about 10 to 12,
maybe 14 minutes, depending on your oven.
So, be right back.
- My favorite part is the chocolate chips in this recipe.
So I like to add extra on top.
- Ooh, let's do that.
That way we can see them, right?
Plop them in like this.
All right.
These just came out of the oven and they've been cooling for
about five minutes, so I think we're ready to dig in.
Adam, want to do a taste test?
- Yeah.
- Which one do you want?
- Um, this one.
- Okay, awesome.
That one. Oh, the big one.
We made them nice and wide.
How does it taste? Let me taste one.
Oh,
they're so delicious. Look at the inside.
Very chocolatey,
very soft and moist.
And it is so good. You can also use the banana.
- They're good but they're a little bit soft.
- They're a little bit soft, exactly.
So actually the fact that we use bananas in here,
means that we get to use less butter and less eggs.
And then also it just gives it a nice cake, like texture.
So they're super soft and they actually stay moist even for
a few days.
You like it Adam?
Your shirt is enjoying it too.
Should they try it, Adam?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, you really like it?
Well, I hope you guys try this.
