mashed banan and applesauce make a good substitute for the eggs in cakes and cookies, then ?

Yes, that's correct! Mashed banana and applesauce are great egg substitutes in baking, especially in cakes and cookies. They not only help bind the ingredients together but also add moisture and a subtle sweetness to the final product. Here are a few more egg substitutes that you can try in your baking:

  1. Flaxseed meal or chia seeds: Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal or chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes gelatinous, then use it as an egg substitute.

  2. Yogurt or buttermilk: Use 1/4 cup of plain yogurt or buttermilk as an egg substitute. This will add moisture and a tangy flavor to your baked goods.

  3. Aquafaba: This is the liquid from canned chickpeas or other legumes. Use 3 tablespoons of aquafaba to replace one egg in your recipe. It works particularly well in meringues, macarons, and other recipes that require whipping egg whites.

  4. Silken tofu: Blend 1/4 cup of silken tofu until smooth and use it as an egg substitute. This works well in denser baked goods like brownies and muffins.

  5. Pumpkin or sweet potato puree: Use 1/4 cup of pumpkin or sweet potato puree as an egg substitute. This will not only replace the eggs but also add a lovely color and flavor to your baked goods.

Experiment with these egg substitutes to find the one that works best for your recipes. Happy baking!

    4. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out portions of the dough and form them into small balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
    5. Bake the cookies for 20-25 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown.
    6. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    In the meantime, here are a few tips to ensure your macaroon cookies turn out perfect:

    1. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Freshly shredded coconut will give your macaroons a better texture and flavor. Also, make sure to use fresh eggs for the egg version of the recipe.

    2. Adjust the sweetness: Taste your cookie dough before baking to ensure it has the desired level of sweetness. You can add more sugar or sweetener if needed.

    3. Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can cause your macaroons to become dense and heavy. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.

    4. Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop will help you form uniformly sized cookies, ensuring even baking.

    5. Rotate the baking sheet: Halfway through the baking process, rotate the baking sheet to ensure even browning.

    6. Let the cookies cool completely: Allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them set and hold their shape.

    I wish you the best of luck with your macaroon cookies, and I can't wait to hear about your baking experience!
