  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Toast the walnuts before adding them for extra crunch and depth of flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness by reducing the sugar slightly if desired.

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Preheat Oven

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

Step 2: Prepare the Wet Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the mashed banana, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  2. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  3. Fold in the walnuts or chocolate chips if using.

Step 4: Shape the Cookies

  1. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 5: Bake

  1. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  2. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
