Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 overripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: chocolate chips, walnuts, or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Fold in optional add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or other mix-ins for extra texture and flavor.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
  9. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool completely before serving.

Notes

[‘Use overripe bananas for better sweetness and moisture.’, ‘Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.’, ‘Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if it feels too soft.’, ‘Watch the bake time to prevent dry cookies.’, ‘Customize with add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, or coconut flakes.’]
