OXO, who makes the coolest kitchen tools, is hosting a Cookies for Kids' Cancer fundraiser. Bloggers like me were sent a kit of baking products and asked to bake some cookies. You can use the store locator to find these products below.
What to do with ripe bananas? Since I have both bananas and Heath toffee pieces in my pantry, I made Banoffee cookies. Banoffee pie is a English pie made with bananas, toffee and cream. I developed a recipe after researching a few blogs. The Kitchn has a recipe for Banana White Chocolate Toffee cookies. I wanted to incorporate apple pie spice and cardamom so I nixed the white chocolate chips.
Banoffee Spice Cookies (adapted from The Kitchn)
1/2 c. unsalted butter, room temperature
1 c. sugar
1 egg, room temperature
2 large bananas
1 tsp. baking soda
2 c. flour
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp. apple pie spice
1/2 tsp. cardamom
1/2 c. Heath toffee chips
Instructions
Cream together butter and sugar into mixing bowl until fluffy. Add in the egg.
Using two ripe bananas, I mashed them up with baking soda.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour with the apple pie spice, cardamon and a salt.
Then add the dry ingredients slowly until well mixed.
Stir in the toffee chips.
Drop in dollops onto a parchment paper or foil-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 11-13 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Cool completely on a wire rack.
