Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon to create an even shape.
