Thin Crispy Banana Oatmeal Cookies Recipes

THIN & CRISPY BANANA OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Space two oven racks so that the oven is divided into thirds. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, a few minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the egg, mashed bananas and vanilla extract; beat until combined. Add the flour and oats mixture and mix on low speed until well combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be wetter than most cookie doughs; that's okay.
• Scoop large balls of dough (about 1½ tablespoons) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 3 inches apart, as they spread quite a bit (I use a small ice cream scooper with a wire scraper). Bake for 14-17 minutes, rotating the pans from top to bottom and front to back midway through, until golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The Cookie Dough can be Frozen for up to 3 Months: Roll the dough into balls, let set on a baking sheet in the freezer, then place in a sealable bag and press out as much air as possible. Bake as needed directly from the freezer. (Allow 1 to 2 minutes longer in the oven.) To Freeze After Baking: Let the cookies cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, remove the cookies from the container and let them come to room temperature.

• Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges turn golden. Cool, then peel cookies off with your fingers. Be sure to re-spray baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray between batches.

THIN AND CRISPY OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 350.
• Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper (I skipped this step, and the cookies didn't stick to the pans).
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars at medium-low speed until just combined, about 20 seconds.
• Increase the speed to medium and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute longer.
• Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Add the egg and vanilla and beat on medium-low until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds.
• Scrape down the bowl again. With the mixer running at low speed, add the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated, and smooth, about 10 seconds.
• With the mixer still running at low speed, gradually add the oats and mix until well incorporated, about 20 seconds.
• Give the dough a final stir with the rubber spatula to ensure that no packets remain and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Divide the dough into 24 equal portions, each about 2 tablespoons, then roll between the palms of your hands into balls.
• Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 1/2 inches apart, 8 dough balls per sheet. Using your fingertips, gently press each dough ball into 3/4 inch thickness.
• Bake one sheet at a time until the cookies are deep golden brown, the edges are crisp, and the centers yield to slight pressure when pressed, 13 to 16 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking.
• Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the cookies cool completely before serving.
