These Banana Bread Cookies combine the best of both worlds: the comforting flavor of banana bread with the irresistible texture of a cookie. Soft, chewy, and slightly crisp around the edges, these cookies are packed with banana goodness and just the right amount of sweetness. Whether you’re enjoying them as a snack or dessert, they’ll quickly become a favorite.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
