Description
These easy, buttery-sweet cookies deliver the comforting flavors of banana bread in a convenient, grab-and-go form. Soft in the middle with slightly crisp edges, they’re perfect for a cozy afternoon treat.
Ingredients
- 3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 cup granulated or brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
- Mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth — a few small lumps are fine.
- Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas, then mix in the sugar and the beaten egg until well combined.
- Sprinkle the baking soda and flour over the mixture and fold gently until just combined.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart, and flatten each mound slightly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for more flavor. Measure flour correctly to prevent dense cookies and avoid overbaking.
