Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Blink theme and Banana Bread Cookies

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! Here is my 'Blink' piece (ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in acrylic on cardstock.

For the Dinner Date I did banana bread cookies based on a Jamie Oliver recipe I found.  They were so easy and very good!  I have made it several times.

1 ripe banana mashed

1/2 c sugar 

1/4c melted butter 

1 c flour

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

350F

Mix wet ingredients (banana, sugar, butter)

Add dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt)


Scoop and shape the dough.   Drop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet, flatten with a fork.  Bake at 350 F for 15-20 minutes.

Here is a tip: dip the fork in water before pressing the cookie, it won't stick to the cookie
