The Best Banana Bread Cookies
Ingredients
1 ripe banana, mashed
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350F 175C. While it warms up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mashed banana, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the banana mixture. Stir gently until everything is just combinedovermixing can make the cookies tough, so be mindful.
Scoop and Drop: Use a spoon to drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
Bake to Perfection: Pop the tray in the oven and bake for 810 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges turn golden, and the tops are set.
Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Now, resist the urge to eat them all at once!
