Units Scale

Ingredients:

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Beat in the egg, then add the mashed banana and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using.
  6. Bake: Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Cool and serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
