Time 22m

Yield 30 cookies, 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1 cup mashed banana (about 2 1/2 large bananas)
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups flour
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup chopped nuts (pick your favorite or even add chocolate chips)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • In a bowl, mix the mashed bananas and baking soda. Let sit for 2 minutes. The baking soda will react with the acid in the bananas which in turn will give the cookies their lift and rise.
  • Mix the banana mixture into the butter mixture. Mix together the flour, salt, and spices and sift into the butter and banana mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Fold into the batter the pecans or chocolate chips if using. Drop in dollops onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until nicely golden brown. Let cool on wire racks.
  • Makes about 30 cookies.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Mash the bananas thoroughly: This will help to ensure that the cookies have a smooth texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking can make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
