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

  • 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.

  • 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.
