Banana Bread Cookies

A soft, flavorful treat that combines the best of banana bread and cookies—perfect for any time of the day!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ripe bananas (about 2 medium), mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the Wet Ingredients

Beat in the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture. Stir until just combined—avoid overmixing.

6. Fold in Nuts and Chocolate Chips

If desired, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and chocolate chips until evenly incorporated.

7. Scoop the Cookies

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

8. Bake the Cookies

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

9. Cool and Serve

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
