Description

These banana bread cookies are soft, chewy, and full of sweet banana flavor. The perfect way to use a ripe banana for a quick dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

1 ripe banana, mashed
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup melted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2: Make the Dough

In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana. Stir in granulated sugar and melted butter until combined.

Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 3: Scoop and Shape

Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten gently with a fork for a crisscross pattern or leave as is for a rounder cookie.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 9–11 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.

Step 5: Cool

Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a more cake-like texture, add 1 egg to the batter.
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking for extra flavor.
Add a handful of mini chocolate chips for a tasty twist.
