Tools for the Best Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies

Medium Cookie Scoop

My go-to cookie scoop, this guy is sturdy, lasts through 1,000s and 1,000s of scoops (I’ve broken tons of other brand cookie scoops through simple scooping). The BEST cookie scoop.

Rose Gold Chef Cookie Sheet & Parchment Paper Sheets

I’ve been on the hunt for high-quality cookie sheets forever. I’ve used dollar store cookie sheets that warped, $20 big brand cookie sheets that also warped and everything else in between. This cookie sheet is not only beautiful, but functional, durable and does not warp one bit. It ensures even heating & baking throughout the sheet. Bonus: I found pre-cut parchment sheets that actually fit this cookie sheet!

Pastry Cutter

The best tool I’ve ever used for mashing bananas. Gets them nice and smushed without the mess and hassle of using a fork or whisk.

4. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart. Optionally, press toppings into the tops of each cookie. Using a fork, flatten each cookie to desired thickness. They won’t spread much during baking.
