Ingredients

• 2 large ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 unit large egg
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the mashed bananas. Beat until the mixture is creamy and well combined.

Step 4

Mix in the vanilla extract and egg until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing for a softer cookie texture.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped walnuts and/or chocolate chips, if using.

Step 8

Using a large cookie scoop or 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Be careful not to overbake.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
