Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which helps create a tender texture.
  3. Add Egg and Bananas: Beat in the large egg and mashed ripe bananas until the batter is well combined and smooth, adding moisture and banana flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt thoroughly to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
  5. Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually stir the dry ingredient mixture into the banana mixture, blending just until combined. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts for added crunch and flavor.
  6. Form Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly to allow for spreading during baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden, indicating they are cooked through but still soft inside.

Notes

  • You can substitute walnuts with pecans or omit nuts entirely for a nut-free version.
  • For a more intense banana flavor, use bananas that are very ripe with brown spots.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • The cookies may be slightly soft when warm but will firm up as they cool.
  • Feel free to add chocolate chips or dried fruit for variation.
