Jay hi, You can add 1-2 TBSP flour (for a firmer cookie). 1/2 tsp baking powder is needed for the recipe, thank you for your comment.
By the way, we used a medium-size Banana.

No baking soda?
I was skeptical, but because I am new to gluten free baking I tried this recepie as is. The dough tasted fabulous, so I was encouraged. Half way though the baking I saw the cookies bubbling in oil, like melted cheese when it starts to get crispy. There did not seem to ne enough bulk to soak up the fat. Since I hand mixed up a double batch and was waiting to start the second sheet I added a bit more flour.
The fish sheet were very tasty. But rubbery and chewy. Not at all what I would expect from a cookie. The second batch with more flour held up better with more bulk.
I think some leavening (baking soda?) Would be a great help! I see other gluten free recepies include it. I will try this again, because as I said, the banana, chocolate chip, coconut flavor is fantastic! Still looking for an acceptable texture.
Could the omission of baking soda have been a typo?
