MARTHA STEWART BANANA-WALNUT CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES



Martha Stewart Banana-Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies image

Honestly, I'm not a big Martha fan. But a friend got me a free subscription to Martha's magazine. Normally I thumb through it and toss it within 2 or 3 minutes. One month, this recipe on the last page caught my eye. With a title like this, how could I not save it?!?! I just made it today (am actually in the middle of baking as I type) and it is AMAZING! If I had more chocolate, I'd be baking another batch instead of posting this....

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before eating. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

These banana walnut chocolate chunk cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're soft, chewy, and full of flavor. Plus, they're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying snack, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
