Description
Soft Banana Bread Cookies are a delicious treat that combines the rich flavor of banana bread with the chewy texture of cookies, perfect for using up overripe bananas.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (unsalted)
- 2 ripe bananas
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- In a pan on medium heat, add the unsalted butter and let it melt. Keep cooking until it turns golden brown and gives off a nutty smell. Pour into a bowl to cool slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 325ºF and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas completely.
- Add the browned butter, both sugars, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until fluffy.
- In the same bowl, add flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix gently until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 1.5 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until edges start to brown.
- Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
