Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas about 2 medium bananas
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ¾ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg optional
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped walnuts
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Dough
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir well.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips or nuts.
Step 3: Bake the Cookies
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough (about 1.5 tbsp per cookie) onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look soft but will firm up as they cool.
- Let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
