Banana Bread Cookies: Soft, Sweet, and Perfectly Chewy

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3: Beat in the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips if using.

Step 6: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
