Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe bananas
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 220 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 120 grams chocolate chips (optional)
- 50 grams chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the unsalted butter (softened to room temperature), granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
If desired, fold in the chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts to the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious banana cookies!
