Ingredients

  • 2 Ripe Bananas mashed
  • 0.5 cup Butter softened
  • 0.75 cup Brown Sugar packed
  • 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 cup Chopped Nuts walnuts or pecans
  • 0.5 cup Chocolate Chips semi-sweet or dark

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to ensure the cookies don’t stick. Mash 2 ripe bananas in a small bowl until smooth and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat 1/2 cup softened butter with 3/4 cup packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 large egg until well combined. Then add the mashed bananas and stir until evenly incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped nuts and 1/2 cup chocolate chips using a spatula.
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden and centers look set but still soft.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Equipment

  • Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • Baking Sheets
  • Cooling Rack

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas with lots of brown spots for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Lightly caramelize brown sugar and mashed bananas in a skillet before mixing for a stronger caramel flavor.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can help cookies hold their shape and avoid flatness.
  • Substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan margarine for a dairy-free version.
