Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Ripe banana, mashed
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Walnuts, chopped
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped walnuts and optional semi-sweet chocolate chips, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the banana nut cookies warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
