These cookies were extremely soft and sweet. The flavour of banana was amazing. I used flax meal as the substitute for the egg. The cookie has a lot of cashew nut and so it tasted nutty. I packed all the cookies to my hubby’s office. My hubby’s colleagues like my preparations. So I always pack most of my preparations for them to relish.
Procedure: 1. Mash bananas with a fork and add baking soda. 2. Mix until fluffy. 3. Mix flax meal and milk and set it aside for 5 minutes. 4. Cream sugar and butter until fluffy. Add the flax meal mixture and beat well. 5. Add banana mixture to the butter mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon. 6. Add flour, salt and cardamom powder. 7. Add this flour mixture to the butter mixture and fold in the flour. 8. Add cashew and mix. 9. Preheat oven to 180C. 10. Line a baking tray with aluminium foil and lightly grease it. 11. Drop spoon full of the cookie dough 1″ apart on the tray. Smoothen the top with the back of the spoon. 12. Bake for 11-15minutes. The top will not change colour. Look out for the base colour. When it is golden brown, remove from oven and cool on wire rack. The cookies are so soft when hot, but will firm up when cool. 13. Enjoy with a cup of coffee.

I am sending this as an entry to Healing Food- Banana at Krithi’s Kitchen, an event started by Siri.
I love painting, dress designing and of course cooking. This blog which started as an online cookery book has given me a great insight into baking and has transformed me into a home baker who is now thriving to learn a lot about cakes and decorating techniques. This blog has thousands of tried and tasted vegetarian recipes around the world and eggless bakes.

I have used medium sized ones. If using elaichi variety, then you need to use four or five. And yes it should be very ripe..
What are flax meals?
If you grind flax seeds to powder, it is flax meal.
