  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Adds richness and flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Enhances flavor with caramel-like sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Infuses a warm, aromatic flavor.
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda Acts as a leavening agent.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances flavors.
Add-ins
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips Adds a delightful chocolatey burst.
  • Optional cup Chopped Nuts For added crunch and flavor.

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl For mashing bananas and mixing ingredients.
  • 1 Baking sheet For baking the cookies.
  • 1 Cookie Scoop or Spoon For portioning the dough.

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it warm up while you prepare the dough.
  2. Collect ripe bananas, flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips.
  3. In a mixing bowl, mash 2-3 ripe bananas until smooth. A fork works perfectly for this!
  4. Add 1/2 cup of melted butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir well.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix!
  7. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips for that extra sweetness and fun.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet.
  9. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy your delightful banana bread cookies!
