Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.

      Add the mashed bananas and mix until thoroughly combined.

        Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

          In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

            Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

              Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips if using.

                Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                  Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

                    Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
