To say that my first attempts to make cookies from scratch using bananas was a failed experiment is an understatement. Many sites tell you to bake for 10-11 minutes. It has never worked.

At 40 minutes, the cookies will knife, so watch according to your taste. When they are finished cooking, allow to cool in the pan on the fire for 20 minutes.
