Tips to make the best recipe
- Do not overbake the cookies, as the exterior will become overly hard, and the center be rubbery. Start checking the cookies around the 10-minute mark and remember, they continue to cook while cooling down.
- These cookies aren’t overly sweet and rely on strawberries, bananas, and chocolate chips for sweetness. Feel free to add some liquid stevia, granulated sugar, or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
- Chill the dough if you prefer thicker and chewier cookies. 30 minutes in the refrigerator is plenty of time.
- Add a dash of lemon juice to the batter to enhance the flavor of the strawberries.
- Fold through some nuts, seeds, or even coconut flakes for more texture.
- Press down on each cookie to form a cookie shape before baking them. Because there is no baking powder or soda, the cookies with keep their shape throughout.
