Can I use overripe bananas for these cookies?

Yes, the recipe specifically calls for 2 medium-sized ripe bananas, which contribute to the natural sweetness and binding of the cookies.

What is the purpose of letting the mixture sit for 5 minutes?

Allowing the mixture to sit for 5 minutes helps the oats absorb moisture and the flaxseed to thicken, resulting in a better texture for the cookies.

Do I need to add any sugar to these cookies?

No, these cookies are naturally sweetened by the ripe bananas, so no additional sugar is required in the recipe.

How should I store these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies?

Once cooled, store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or freeze them for longer enjoyment.
