I created this recipe to make healthy holiday sugar cookies with cookie cutters, but they could be made at any time of year. Banana and peppermint may sound like an odd combination, but I use peppermint as a secret trick to add more complex flavor profile, that helps make up for the lack of sugar. This recipe uses wheat flour and eggs but you could experiment with substitutes. Most importantly, have fun !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients (Organic if Possible):<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1 cup ripe banana (I used two medium bananas) mashed or pur\u00e9ed. You could also try to substitute applesauce instead if you are ok with less sweetness and don\u2019t want any hint of banana flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1 cup unrefined coconut oil, soft<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 \u00bd cup water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1 large or 2 small eggs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 50 drops monkfruit extract (Amazon Associates link to the one I used: https:\/\/amzn.to\/488Mdy6<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1 teaspoon peppermint extract (or more vanilla or other extract)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1 1\/2 teaspoons aluminum free baking powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1\/2 teaspoon fine sea salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 3 3\/4 cups organic white flour (or try a gluten free flour mix)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 \u00bd cup low lead cassava flour (or you could experiment with using cacao powder or more flour)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Blend all ingredients thoroughly except the flours. After adding the flours, mix until just combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Cover the bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Roll the dough out with a rolling pin and use cookie cutters to make shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Place onto a cookie sheet (greased with coconut oil).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Bake for 13-15 minutes. They don\u2019t need to brown, but if you like a crunchier cookie you can brown them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Allow the cookies to cool on cookie sheet for at least 5 minutes before carefully transferring using a spatula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 To decorate, check out my frosting recipe <\/a>and coconut sprinkles recipe (coming soon). You could also decorate with chopped nuts, cacao nibs, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
