Banana is full of nutrition and tastes well, every 100g fruit pulps contain 1.2g protein, 0.9g coarse fiber, 9mg calcium… and carotene, vitamin C and E…Thus people from kids to old aged can eat to get balanced nutrition. And what’s more, banana is a kind of low calory food, people on a diet can eat heartedly.
Cookies, are always crisp with taste in our impression. But nowadays, soft cookies are more and more popular. Cookie itself is a kind of thing that is hard to define, cake paste can make cookies too, such as lady fingers, which is just made by sponge cake. In return, if add more eggs in butter cookies and bake them, that would be just like pound cake. So it’s ordinary of this special soft cookies now.
After all, why the soft cookies are soft, the main reason would be the water content. If a cake is full of moisture, that is very soft to eat. Vice versa. So, how to design the recipe is a key. I’ve settled the water content in the cookies and the baking time in a reasonable range, which makes the cookies have both the characteristics of cake and biscuit.
Actually, cookie is just so simple.
