Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Banana Bread Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash 2-3 ripe bananas until smooth. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Fold the dry mixture into the wet banana mixture until just combined. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
  5. Fold in your chosen mix-ins, like 0.5 cups of chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
  6. Drop rounded portions of cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
