As I flipped through the book I found traditional recipes, but mostly I found unusual recipes that really stood out to me. Ever heard of Lemon Poppy Seed Linzers, well I hadn't either until I saw them in the One Sweet Cookie Cookbook! They look amazing, as does all of the cookies in the cookbook. I was surprised my husband even looked through the entire book and found a recipe he would like to make. I couldn't believe that the actually found a cookie recipe that he wanted to make! I have to admit it does look very tasty, so I would like to share the recipe with you!
BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Ingredients:
- 6 Ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
- 6 medium-ripe bananas
Directions:
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, granulated sugar, confectioners sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce the speed to low and slowly stir in the chocolate chips and continue to stir for about a minute.
Remove the dough from the mixer and place between 2 large sheets of parchment paper. Roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the top layer of parchment, score the dough using a 1 1/4 inch round cookie cutter, and put the parchment back on top. Gently slide the sheet of dough onto a half-sheet pan and place in freezer to chill for about one hour. (The dough can be prepared several days in advance.)
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line three half-sheet pans with parchment paper. Remove the dough from the freezer. Pop out the rounds of cute cookie dough. Arrange the rounds on the prepared pans, 1/2 inch apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until light golden brown. Cool completely on wire racks.
Peel and cut bananas into 1/2 inch thick slices and sandwich each one between two chocolate chip cookies. Serve immediately.
