Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Ripe banana, mashed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Walnuts, chopped
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the mashed banana, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and optional semi-sweet chocolate chips, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the banana nut cookies warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
